RIP. He had Billions. And one of the world’s largest private yachts. I hope he knew the Lord.

Met him once. He funded our development group.

He was a real techie kind of guy and started a museum showcasing old pre-80s computers.

RIP Mr Allen.

Bill Gates tried to dilute Allen’s share in Microsoft when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease in 1982 because Gates didn’t think he was working hard enough.

At least in the Seattle area, he did a huge amount for the community : Seahawks owner, Museum of Pop Culture, developed South Lake Union from a dump into a high tech business park, Children’s Hospital donations, IT Building on the U of Wa, The Flying Heritage and Armor Collection, and on and on. And he seemed to stay off the radar politically.

“Daddy!”

Secret life of a bitter billionaire: For years, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen hid his decadent lifestyle so why is he now telling all... and turning on Bill Gates?

I always thought Steve Ballmer was CEO of Microsoft. I haven’t been getting my updates.
