When Bill Gates was in Middle School, the High School hired
him to write their class assignment program. He put in a
secret little script. Whenever the name Gates would come up,
it would hold off and wait to place that student until the end.
It would then put that student in the classes with the most females.
It boomeranged a few years later when his sister started going
to the High School - she had trouble meeting boys. :)
Not quite the credentials you may have been looking for.
No need to come off like an elitist. Elitists are much like
cult members, with attitudes based on faith, not on fact, more
willing to believe something somebody tells them than to research
it to find out for themselves. Who are the real sheep?
Bill Gates has done quite a bit of programming. Why are you
even arguing about whether he did or not? Do you _really_ care?
Would it make your day better if he didn't? Are you above reproach?
Relax. =)
