The Original Nerd
A nerd before the term was fashionable. With a disregard for
fashion that he would never totally abandon, he buttoned his
shirt to the top and hiked his pants well above his waist. He
had a high-pitched, nasal voice.
Challenges in school
Small for his age, skinny and left-handed, with big feet on an
otherwise slight frame. Born on October 28, he was usually the
youngest in his class. He had a hard time finding challenges in
school, and instead got into a variety of scrapes with teachers
and administrators.
And the nerds shall inherit the earth...
At the dawn of the personal computer age, he created
Microsoft and licensed an operating system for most of the
world's computers. Before he turned thirty, he became the
richest person on the planet according to Forbes. The
company's success also made millionaires out of hundreds of his
employees. He went on to found the world's largest
philanthropic organization.
