As for Gates, he’s a real piece of work. I know his old man was a communist, so it runs in the family. I feel like I grew up with Gates, I was in the pc business at the beginning, and we were making the enclosures for the OEM’s back in the day. There were so many big names back then that have faded into the sunset. Gateway computer, Compaq, Sun Micro, even Dell has faded somewhat. I remember selling for a company in the mid 80’s that assembled circuit boards for Apple up in Cupertino, CA. Guys like Jobs and Wozniak were still accessible around the building. Quite a few companies I can’t remember anymore. Those were some good times in the late 80’s early 90’s. Talk about a boom.
The writing was on the wall back then. I started competing with Taiwan in manufacturing the enclosures. China had just barely got going but it was clear they would dominate. I sold in 97′ to a conglomerate owned by Emerson Electric. They shut it down by 2001.
The politicians sold the country out with free trade that was free for everyone except the U.S.
Anyhoo, I remember the articles of Gates and how he started Microsoft in his garage as this geeky kid. Now, I think he probably was doing something in his garage, but I’m not sure it was software. 🙂
