CURRENTEVENTS\n\nMAIN NEWS  \nPAGES 1-2  \n# BILL GATES\n\n## BACKGROUND\n\nAs a high school student,Bill Gateswas very competitive and very smart.Hegot straight A's in school—without,hesays,ever taking a book home.  \n\"I can do anything I put my mind to,\"hetold friends.  \nIn the 1960s,when Gates was inschool,there were no personal computers.The only computers were huge behe-mouths that took up whole rooms andwere so expensive that only the govern-ment,large businesses,and some universi-ties could afford them.  \nStill,computer-nerd Gates found busi-nesses that would let him use their comput-ers.Gates started writing programs for thecomputers,and by the time he had graduat-ed from Seattle's Lakeside high school,hewas well-versed in computer technology.  \nAfter graduating from high school in1973,Gates entered Harvard University,but dropped out in 1975 after learningabout a computer called the Altair 8800.The Altair 8800 could be built from a kitfor only $399,and it was small enough forpeople to use in their homes and ofices.  \nBill joined with Paul Allen,a highschool buddy to try to develop software for  \n# EACHER'S GUIDE F0R THIS ISSUE\n\nthe computer revolution that Gates be-lieved the Altair 8800 would inaugurate.  \nGates and Allen worked around theclock for six weeks,writing a languageprogram for the Altair 880 called BASIC,when they were finished,they flew toAlbuquerque,New Mexico,where the com-pany that made the Altair 880 was located.Altair bought their program.It was thenthat Gates left Harvard,moved to NewMexico and,with Allen,set up Microsoft.  \nSoon Microsoft had so much work thatGates had to hire people to help him.Finally,Bill and Paul decided that the com-pany was now too big to remain in NewMexico.In 1978,Microsoft moved just 15miles northeast ofSeattle.  \nThe year 1980 was especially success-ful for Microsoft because IBM chose thecompany to write a new operating systemfor its new personal computer.This operat-ing became MS-DOS,the most widely usedoperating system in the world.In 1985,with the introduction of Microsoft'sWindows operating system,which mim-icked the Apple operating system,and therest is history.Windows made Bill Gatesthe richest man in the world and turnedMicrosoft into a giant of the computer in-dustry.In the next few months,Microsoftis supposed to come out with its newestversion of Windows,Windows98.  \nQuestions?E-mail us at EdCE@WeeklyReader.Com  \n\n| PLAN AHEAD 1997-98   |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| SSUE   | SUBJECT TO CHANGE   | 9   |  | 18   |
