Yeah I definitely remember that in the news as a teenager...and then I remember everybody kinda shrugged their shoulders and forgot. And now Bill Gates = zoomer jesus after 20 years of PR work to turn his image around.

    Somehow, everybody forgot all the dumpster-diving Gates did to "build" Microsoft in the first place.

    Crazy to think that Commodore's BASIC was coded by Bill Gates, though. I was recently reading a programming article he wrote in Compute! magazine back in 1984, when MS ascendance was anything but guaranteed.
