Without doing a lot of research, I can suggest a few things. In 1970, I was just back from Vietnam with a new wife and struggling to get my degree and plan a career. Bill Gates, and many others, were positioned just right to take advantage of giant strides being made in electronics, specifically integrated circuits and computer chips. Youth and invention often go hand in hand. Of course, if IBM hade taken Bill up on his offer to sell Microsoft, things might have been radically different. IBM didn't particularly believe in a personal computer market:an IBM executive said something to the effect that, "Nobody needs one". I, however, know a great deal more about killing mass quantities of people and personal pharmacology than Bill Gates does, so it all evens out in the end. ****************************************************************************
Question: Now I respect everyone in this group and I'd like to know what it is that Gates had that you guys might or might not have? What made Gates the powerhouse he is while you, with all your experience (which again, I respect to the hilt) are not Microsoft? Again, I say this with all the respect that one can have for all your knowledge and concern for helping others in computer life. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
