This is an autobiography of Bill Gate's younger years. He went to a combination middle/high school. That gave him access to shared computing time. He and some friends worked on a program to manage student's class schedules. Later, to get access to more computing time, he and the friends worked for a startup that his friend's mom founded.

Bill went to Harvard for college. There he gained access to a DEC computer. He tried making a baseball simulation program on it. He also worked on a BASIC interpreter for a new home computer by MITS. He and his partner licensed BASIC to MITS. Later, the relationship with MITS went sour. They fought a legal battle and won an arbitration battle with MITS.

Initially Bill took a break from Harward to work on Microsoft business. He later apparently dropped out. They started getting work to implement BASIC in other home computers on other chip sets. They initially were a tiny company in New Mexico. They later moved back to Seattle, Washington, where Bill and his partner Paul Allen were from.
