Happy Birthday, Microsoft

Here’s one that I almost missed.  On this day in history (April 4) in 1975, a 19-year old named Bill Gates and his 22-year old friend, Paul Allen joined together to form the Micro-soft partnership.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Paul Allen was a really OLD looking 22 year old in that shot. Apparently combs hadn’t yet been invented either.

Sure seems that way from the looks out of.

When you reach a certain level of geekiness, personal grooming products, such as combs and razors become optional…at best. :)
