Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine 637
So normally I resist the temptation to post this sort of thing because it just seems like a cheap shot, but
I just can't hold back on this one, so
Bill, if you're reading this (ya right ;) I'm sorry, but I just have to share this one. And I hope in 2021 I'm a billionaire and people are posting my yearbook pictures to take cheap shots at me too! Anyway,
We recently found pictures of a photo spread Mr. Gates did in 1983 for Teen Beat magazine. Enjoy.

Thanks for the mirror. That must have been the fastest /. effect I have seen.
Now, about the pictures. It looks like a spread for a geek porn mag. It almost looks like he is ready to dry-hump the monitor.
That might be the most stable MS GUI around he is fawning over.

Re:Best Bill Gates quote from the 1980's (Score:5, Funny)
Your wrong, his best quote is:
"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." -- Bill Gates.
Bricklin sent waves of laughter through the auditorium by reading a passage from Lammers' interview with Bill Gates in which the young Microsoft founder explained that his work on different versions of Microsoft's BASIC compiler was shaped by looking at how other programmers had gone about the same task. Gates went on to say that young programmers don't need computer science degrees: "The best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating systems."
Bricklin finished reading Gates' words and announced, with an impish smile, "This is where Gates and [Richard] Stallman agree!"

Yep. All Apple has to do is recompile for x86 and it'd be instant success and millions in additional revenue. It's a no-brainer. The roaring success of other commercial x86 offerings such as OS/2 Warp and BeOS pave the way.

Actually, to be completely fair, he doesn't exactly look thrilled to be posing for the pictures. Imagine if Torvalds were cornered to do this. Or... in some frightening parallel universe where geeks are considered the ultimate sex objects: Stallman. (Brrr... I shudder at the thought)
