Bill Gates’ infatuation with computers started at the age of thirteen when his mother’s club installed a terminal and purchased computer time for the students. This was a very important decision in his life and can actually be determined the focal point for his interest in computer technology.

The first computer that he had access to had no monitor and was extremely slow according to our current standards, but intriguing and challenging to Gates and his friends. This was a machine that he could control and get immediate results from, telling if the commands he had given to it were correct within a short time. According to Gates, he still gets a thrill knowing that if he can get the program right it will always work perfectly, every time, just as he told it.
