The Life of BILL GATES


     Bill Gates' achievements as a scientist and as a computer phenom is being
appreciated today as well as they will be in the future.  Gates has single handedly put
America, in a world of giants such as Japan, on top of the chart on terms of technology.
Nick Sullivan is quoted saying, "I'd hate to be in business with him, but as a consumer, it's
hard not to like him."  Bill has had many small adventures that make up his life so far.
Many have come through his rough style of business, but most have come through the
software he has created to bring America as well as the rest of the world into the new
millennium.
     William Henry Gates III was born in Seattle, Washington on October 28, 1955.
His grandmother, an avid bridge player, gave him the nickname Trey, after the three card,

school he soon became bored.  To fight boredom, the Gates family bought him a new
edition of the World Book Encyclopedia.  He quickly read through the entire set.  After he
became disruptive in school, because of his lack of challenge, the Gates sent him off to
Lakeside private school.
     Lakeside proves to be a great opportunity for young Bill.  Shortly after he was sent
to Lakeside, they leased computer time from various businesses in Seattle.  To
communicate with the rented computer, Lakeside bought an ASR-33 Teletype.  Bill was
one of the students most enthusiastic in the new computer time.  No one on the faculty
was experience enough to teach a full course on these new machines, but a few teachers
introduced these new machines to the students.  One of those teachers is quoted, "It took
him a week to pass me [in computer knowledge]."...
