I met Bill Gates twice. Both while I was living in the DC area. The first time I was a PC users group meeting where he was the speaker..I talked to him afterwards. (mid 80's) and a year or two later I was sitting in the cafateria at the Washington DC computer show and he came up to me and asked if he could sit at my table (I was alone) I almost gagged on my lunch. We were talking about what was happening at MS and what he sees for the future of computing. I asked him a lot about the real early days when they bought the first DOS rights from MS for something like 50K.
Another young college kid came with his lunch tray and sat down next to him and asked me my name and what I did...I told him, then he ask BG what his name is..."Bill" he replied. What do you do Bill?...I am the ceo of a software company....really? wow, Have I ever heard of it? what company? ...BG replys maybe, MS...The kid turned RED and food came out of his mouth we all laughed so hard.
Actually he is a decent guy from the short time I have spent with him. Has lots of insight and demands a lot from the people that work for him.
I like his above list...I want to show it to my kids. They respect people that make billions.
