1978년 New Mexico의 Albuquerque에서 찍은 이 사진의 주인공들은 훗날 전설이 된 Microsoft 창업자들이다.
왼쪽 위부터 오른쪽순으로 Steve Wood, Bob Wallace, Jim Lane, Bob O' Rear, Bob Greenberg, Marc McDonald, Gordon Letwin, Bill Gates, Andrea Lewis, Marla Wood, Paul Allen이다.
성공하기 전에 이정도로 핫하고 섹시한 사진 한장 정도 남겨야 후세에 멋지겠구나.
Starsky & Hutch에서 보여준 70년대 미국 영광의 시대가 눈에 선하다.

If you had chosen to invest your money with this bunch of scruffy looking characters back in 1978, you'd be quite rich now.
아래는 이들이 벌어들인 돈이다. 그야말로 기적의 미라클.
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.
