Bill Gates

Did you know.?

Bill Gates' first business was Traff-O-Data, a company that created machines which recorded the number of cars passing a given point on a road.

 

Also,
outside the USA, Ireland is the largest software producing company in the world.

 

A chip of silicon a quarter-inch square has the capacity of the original 1949 ENIAC computer, which occupied a city block.

 

ENIAC, the first electronic computer, appeared 50 years ago. The original ENIAC was about 80 feet long, weighed 30 tons and had 17,000 tubes. By comparison, a desktop computer today can store a million times more information than an ENIAC, and 50,000 times faster.

 

imagine if we had computers that large now with our current day hardware/software.. MM!

 

only a matter of time.
NANO TECHNOLOGY is the key of the future.

 

Beautiful, I'm just craving to inject computers into me.

 

Oh man I need to try to dig into the archives of my computer group I belong too but it was an old ad that showed this huge thing on the background and said "This is a simulation of a home computer in 2005" "We know the technology is not here today but we feel it shall be by then" Hell this thing was the size of a master bedroom!

 

I hope it's not this picture:


cause that's a photoshop. seriously, a steering wheel? it's the inside of a nuclear sub or something.

Did you know Bill Gates stole the whole idea for Windows? Yep, from a 'friend' at that time.

 

I did not know that

 

Now you do. Either it was DOS that he stole or it was the Window coding...

 

From what I understand, he bought DOS, and stole the windows gui idea from Apple, who got it from Xerox. Or something of that nature.

 

hes who made the money, thats what matters. he also made up qbasic with some other dude in '75

 

Yeah, and he did it as a true American. Lying and stealing, it seems to be what this place is founded on...
