Microsoft would probably have just been a little part of the early history of computer had not Gary Kildall of Digital Research missed a meeting with IBM executives who were looking for an OS for their desktop computer. The chairman of IBM happened to know Gate's mother as they were both involved in the United Fund organization. There was a meeting set up for IBM to look at what MS could do. They basically had a simple OS that they had bought from another Seattle computer company written by one guy Tim Patterson. The rest is history. It was very much a case of being in the right place at the right time though some of us who do astrology looking at his chart think that Gates could have dropped dishes and become a billionaire. I know of another person who was born a month earlier but has a similar chart and became wealthy. He claims that serendipity had a lot to do with making his wealth.
