The 'weird' stories have not been told about Bill Gates

Signing Idea Man (The Initiator) by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has just been released on April 19, revealing unexpected information about his longtime friend.

In addition to accusing Bill Gates of plotting to "eat off" their shares at Microsoft, the 57th richest billionaire in the world also recounted some anecdotes about their childhood and the early days of Microsoft.

While in high school, Gates and Allen practiced programming skills on a C-Cubed DEC computer. But they do not have much access to information like other employees, so they are very upset. One night, Allen pushed Gates onto the trash cans to search for documents and they found a printout of the TOPS-10 source code, which opened many interesting secrets.

The cost of borrowing computers at school increased so the two of them tried to access one of the free accounts at C-Cubed. They got the admin password (admin) and used it to steal the accounting file. Both of them intended to decode the file to obtain a "temple" account but were caught in a bail.

In the summer, Gates agreed to write a class schedule program for the school and he placed himself in an English-only class of girls.

Gates often did not care about social etiquette. Once, Allen's girlfriend Rita gave him a barbecue and he put it in his mouth with just a spoon.

Gates used to play cards while at Harvard University and lost thousands of dollars. But this game also taught him some tricks and later came in handy in business.

Gates used to stay up all night to work. Once, the secretary arrived on Monday morning and found him lying on the floor. She thought he had fainted but in fact, he worked all weekend and was taking a nap.

When Microsoft started to succeed, Allen hosted a Halloween party at home. Gates slipped the banister and rushed into the kitchen.

The richest billionaire in the United States drove frantically and received so many tickets that he was forced to hire the best lawyer in Washington to help him avoid trouble. Once, he borrowed his friend's 928 Porsche and caused an accident that took the car a year later to fix it.

In the early 1980s, Gates and Allen missed a flight at San Francisco International Airport (USA). Gates ran to the dashboard near the air bridge and began to press the buttons. Allen thought he would be arrested but instead, the aircraft was called back.
