Bill Gates Money

 

10,000 $100 bills = 40 inches tall ($1 million)

40 inches per million x 61,500 million = 2,500,000 inches

If you stacked Bill Gates money with $100 bills, it would reach 38.8 miles high.

Bill Gates makes about $298,800 per hour.

 

Four Facts about Bill Gates Money

 

If you wanted to buy a Lamborghini Diablo that cost $250,000, that would only be about 31 cents to Bill Gates.

That fully loaded, multimedia active matrix 233 MHZ laptop with the 1024x768 screen you've been drooling after? Half a penny.

A nice home in a rich town like Palo Alto, California? Two dollars. That nice mansion he's building? A more reasonable $63 to him.

You might spend $50 on tickets, food and parking to take your date to see an NHL hockey game. Bill, on the other hand could buy the team for 50 Bill-Bills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question and Answer for Steve Wozniak

 

Letter #1

Question:

Do you write the html on your page by hand,(which I've done but don't anymore) or do you use a program, or does someone else do you page for you? Another question: what is your favorite joke/prank you've done on someone?

WOZ Answer:

He doesn’t really do the web pages himself, he hires others to do them for him. Wozniak was also too exhausted to get into pranks so the question remains unanswered.

 

Letter #2:

Question:

Steve, I have followed the discussion of "Pirates" closely over the past week, and noticed a part of Computer history being omitted. There is no mention anywhere of the role played by Sam and Jack Tramiel while at Atari. I have owned an Atari computer of one kind or another for over 15 years; only within the past year did I break down and buy a Windows-based machine.

I recall some pretty wild stories about the Tramiel brothers in the early 80's. Did they really swap companies (trade Commodore for Atari)? Why did the Tramiel Operating System for the Atari/ST look so much like the Mac OS? Since you were there at that time, perhaps you could regale us with a few stories about them?

WOZ Answer:

He couldn’t really talk about what the question was asking, but Jack Tramiel did turn down buying the apple from him.

 

Letter #3:

Question:

How and when you get started with building such a great invention called PC or more precisely Apple? Have you ever thought about writing a biography about your life?

WOZ Answer:

Starting from as young as a 2nd grader, he started to work with switch and light electronic kits. He also was in a lot of science fairs and in the 5th grade his father taught him a lot about electronic calculations. He claims that his knowledge about electronics was learned all by himself, mostly by accident. In his response, he never answered if he would or would not write his own biography.
