Computer Help and Support

Back when computers were clunky, slow and stupid, you had to pay for use of computers and their time. I belonged
to a computer club that required $150 an hour to use a huge mainframe at the power plant and that was a reduced rate seen as a charitable donation to our science club. Mostly only big institutions could afford computers or time.

Gates broke into his mother's hospital, where she was a well paid executive administrator, and hacked into the computer there to get free computer time. When it was discovered, his mother covered it up.

Behind ever great fortune is a great crime. There is no telling how many $100,000, equivalent to millions today, worth of computer time he used up because he was able to hide a lot of his thievery.

He and his business are still stealing today.
