The Mother's club at the Lakeside School began a fundraiser to purchase a computer. The mothers club succeeded to purchase an ASR-33 teletype terminal and computer time from General Electric. ( Back then, to use a computer you needed to pay for the amount of time you used it. ) Bill Gates and his 3 friends Paul Allen, Ric Weiland and Kent Evans were always on the computer fascinated by the computers ability to perform tasks. At the time, Bill was still a rookie but he still knew what to do and how to do it. As Bill started getting more involved, he also got more enemies. He once stole an OS from Tim Paterson. Tim worked for Seattle Computer Products. Bill Stole his OS and changed it so it can be for a IBM PC. Bill has many enemies in the business world now. "A competitor of Microsoft called the firm 'a great white shark that knows no boundaries'". (Bill gates by Lauren Lee, Pg. 31)
