Bill Gates!
by Swapan Dey on Jun 20, 2008 04:57 PM

It is not easy to start something new. Ask any inventor. Or ask any author, when he has to write the first page of his book, staring at a blank piece of paper. But after he has invented or written the users or readers (as the case may be) may admire or ridicule him.

Bill Gates should be considered an inventor more than an entrepreneur. There are too may have-nots & spoilsports in this world. I think Bill has not been given his due.

Bill has opened the Gates of our modern working life. Among the many his Windows Operating System was milestone. I profusely admire him.

However there is one amazing statement he had made in 1981. He had said: "640k ought to be enough for anybody." I am not deriding him but I wish to say that even a great man like Bill could not foresee the avalanche of computer processes and skills that was to come.
