Not to mention that BG's Mother (with all due respect) had a high seat
on the IBM advisory board and had much influence as did his Father with
major business clients of the day. The silly stories of Hollywood fame
that Gates & Gunn-Allen "begged for a Voice before the King of the
Computing Realm (IBM) while hacking a Micro-soft version of DOS at the
last minute" is pretty much fictional.
I live next door to the nephew of one of the original workers from the
MITS factory here in ABQ. Funny how stories get changed around when in
print/film compaired to the ones from those that "were actually there".
