Fact. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard, intentionally, and Microsoft was born soon thereafter. Mid 1970's.

Hmmm....I'm a Steve Job/Apple nerd and really don't know much about Bill Gates. Haha, I tell you this while typing on a Microsoft Windows XP laptop! I'm biting at the bit for the cute new little Apple laptops with a gazillion mega-mooga-wooga's-whatever. I'll say Fact just because it feels true.

Fabulous Friday, you FoCers! It's another beautiful, sunny day in the Pac Northwest, but the winds are a bit high. Still, great to see blue sky instead of gray! Yesterday's question was: Is Bill Gates a college dropout? First, I'm very surprised that no one commented on Billy's mug shot. I expected all kinds of snarky comments, but not a single one appeared! In answer to the question, you said: Some of you thought he dropped out of Harvard, Lance said Yale. A few posited that he dropped out of high school and a couple of you seem to think he can't count in anything but binary code. Meanwhile, Laralyn has obviously been drinking WAY too much coffee! (At least we hope that's the worst that's going on with her.) So, what do the Calendar Computers have to say? It's FACT! In 1973, Gates attended Harvard University (where he met Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO) but left in his junior year. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer, the MITS Altair. Gates then went on to establish Microsoft with childhood friend Paul Allen." Here they are in the early days:
Bit of trivia. Steve Ballmer's sister-in-law and her family attend my church. That's about as close as I get to Microsoft millions (aside from the donations I've made over the years by purchasing products from them). Okay, so what's next? What could be bigger than Microsoft? To what depths will the Calendar Corps sink for our amusement and trivia education? Well, let's see by exploring the question for today, Friday, February 10, 2006.
The Grand Canyon is the biggest canyon on earth. FACT or CRAP? You decide!
