The RAP
The Person of the Century Competition
A month ago we asked our readers who they would call the Person of the Century. Today we start publishing biographies of the candidates. The first candidate is Bill Gates and this is what Samantha from Oliver Goldsmith High School, New York, wrote about him.
The Man of the Century — Bill Gates
This is the biography of one of the richest men in the world, William H. Gates III. He was born on October, 1955, and was a Harvard student. He got his $15 million with a computer software company called Microsoft. This man is the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft Corporation and also started Microsoft with his high school friend, Paul Allen. He began writing programs in personal computer software when he was 13. In 1975 Bill and Paul wrote a version of BASIC for the Microcomputer, the MITS Altair 8800. Bill Gates and Paul Allen then formed Microsoft and developed software for personal computers. Bill and Paul became very successful in 1980, when IBM asked them to write a new Disk Operating System (DOS), for their personal computers. He recently bought a house with his wife, Melinda Gates, on Lake Washington. Bill Gates is also the author of a book called ‘The Road Ahead’.
