  Everyone knows him around the world, a small toddler going to a pre-school would know who the person is. He developed a world of computers, today we cannot think of life without computers and especially WINDOWS. I am so excited to write about him first, because I was one of the fortunate ones to see his new house being built in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles during my recent trip to the US. Wow, what a huge house it was! I was truly excited to atleast see his home if not him. Well, coming back to our topic! His company Microsoft raked in US $36.84 billion for the year 2004 and employs around 55,000 employees, by now I am sure the revenue figures may have soared to double.

  The Apple computers. Everybody wants to use Apple computer because of its key features and I keenly take pride in using one. Although, I have one basic model now but planning to buy a good Mac book Pro sooner. His is truly a success story; he was very passionate about bringing computers to everyone's lives. It was in the year 1977 that he started to build personal computer. Their first company and office began in a garage, they sold off their Volkswagen and calculator to raise $1,300 for their venture. Within six months of time, their company was amongst the Fortune 500.
