    Re: Mr Gates

    I interrupted a Bill Gates love-in with that article which questions Gates' character and judgement for reasons which must be plain.

    Then again Bill Gates is a star. When he came to uni, crowds were following him. There was even a huge crowd to see him through a window and the vibe on campus was buzzing

    Are there any other sad football nerds on here who still think of the old Middlesbrough centre half when they hear the name Bill Gates?

    You could have done what he did!

    "MS-DOS was a renamed form of 86-DOS – owned by Seattle Computer Products, written by Tim Paterson. Development of 86-DOS took only six weeks, as it was basically a clone of Digital Research's CP/M (for 8080/Z80 processors), ported to run on 8086 processors and with two notable differences compared to CP/M; an improved disk sector buffering logic, and the introduction of FAT12 instead of the CP/M filesystem.

    This first version was shipped in August 1980. Microsoft, which needed an operating system for the IBM Personal Computer, hired Tim Paterson in May 1981 and bought 86-DOS 1.10 for US$75000 in July of the same year. Microsoft kept the version number, but renamed it MS-DOS. They also licensed MS-DOS 1.10/1.14 to IBM, which, in August 1981, offered it as PC DOS 1.0 as one of three operating system for the IBM 5150, or the IBM PC."

    If it wasn't for Eric Gates Swansea City might have won the football league, Swansea were top of the league well into March and Gates scored a last minute winner against them and then the wheels came off.
