I'd have invested if I could have. My parents never had any money when I was growing up. I remember riding the bus home from the U. of Washington (where I could pay my tuition and books with the money I was earning at something like $4/hr.) listening to the news on my Walkman, or some similar device. If I had known what the stock would do, I think I might have quit school, put what little money I had into buying their stock, kicked back and waited.

And a child ruled them all.............................................................................................................................

I bet at least one of the guys in that photo has a bag of weed in his pocket.

At the risk of having virtual blows rained down upon me. I'd like to let you know that it's not too late.

Huh?

"A rotary piston machine includes a first spheroidal element including pistons and/or cylinders and a second spheroidal element including pistons and/or cylinders, wherein the first element can move relative to the second element. The machine can be used as part of a pump, compressor, or engine."

No financial expert in his right mind would have recommended microsoft, starbucks, or red bull.

I am heavily invested in this new technology and am taking on others who would also like to invest.

I left my e-mail because I don't think that it's the spirit of the boards to heavily and overtly advertise anything.

Yes. I'd invest in the guy on the bottom right's pot farm. LOL

Ram, I can put them together but that's as far as my computer knowledge goes. The mechanical part I can handle, everything else is way outside my knowledge bank.

The photo was taken December 7, 1978 in Albuquerque, New Mexico before the company moved its offices to Washington. The people in the photo are (from left to right, starting at the top) Steve Wood, Bob Wallace, Jim Lane, Bob O' Rear, Bob Greenberg, Marc McDonald, Gordon Letwin, Bill Gates, Andrea Lewis, Marla Wood, and Paul Allen.

The photo is posted on Microsoft's website on Bill Gates's biography page.

If you had chosen to invest your money with this bunch of scruffy looking characters back in 1978, you'd be quite rich now. But how rich did the people in the photo become? Here's their estimated wealth, listed in descending order:

Bill Gates: Still with Microsoft as it's chairman and chief software architect. His fortune is somewhere in the range of $50 billion.

Paul Allen: Left Microsoft in 1983 but remains a senior strategy advisor to the company. Worth around $25 billion.

Bob O'Rear: Left Microsoft in 1983. Is now a cattle rancher and is worth around $100 million.

Bob Greenberg: Left Microsoft in 1981 and then helped launch those Cabbage Patch Dolls that were so popular in the 1980s. Last time anyone checked, he was worth around $20 million.

Jim Lane: Left Microsoft in 1985. Now has his own software company and is worth around $20 million.

Gordon Letwin: Left Microsoft in 1993 and now devotes himself to environmental causes. Is worth around $20 million.

Steve and Marla Wood: They both left Microsoft in 1980 and Marla then sued the company for sex discrimination. They're worth around $15 million.

Bob Wallace: Left Microsoft in 1983. Worth around $5 million.

Andrea Lewis: Was Microsoft's first technical writer. Left the company in 1983. Worth around $2 million.

Marc McDonald: Was Microsoft's first employee. Left the company in 1984, but recently rejoined the company when Microsoft bought Design Intelligence, the company he was working for. Has the honor of getting to wear badge number 00001. Probably worth at least $1 million.
