One of the big success/ failure stories here in Albuquerque is that Bill Gates tried to borrow $20,000? from the local bank ....they turned him down and he move to Seattle....I think of what my property would be worth today if Micro- Soft was located here

"I think of what my property would be worth"
We all do that so many times. I had a chance to buy Microsoft stock. I just didn't think the guy would amount to anything. When I got married, my wife's grandmother offered to give us several acres of land for a wedding present. I said No, we wouldn't have any use for it. Twenty years later, a developer built a subdivison at that location. The land would have been worth about $100,000. Lord, those were the days, my friend....
