Bill Gates in "Teen Beat"
See why you need to read Slashdot every day? Otherwise you would miss this kind of great tech-oriented stuff like this 1983 photo spread Bill Gates did for "Teen Beat" magazine.
Of course unless you were one of the first few to read the thread, you would have missed out on it anyway, because the original link was promptly taken down. (Not before I copied the pictures to my own server, however!) Enjoy, but don't get too aroused.

Wow. It's a train wreck. I can't stop looking!

BTW, what's he doing with his finger in that second one?

He's just dreamy.

Barry-do you have to ask? Clearly, his idol is Christopher Walken, and he especially loves that character he does on SNL. He thought the smoking jacket would be a little over the top, but pretending to hold a snifter of brandy? G-roovy.
All kidding aside, are those ACTUAL floppies on the desk? The really floppy floppies?

Actually if you look closely he's playfully tossing a floppy disk at the photographer (it's in front of his shoulder), you probably missed it because you were staring at that buldge in his stylish powder blue polyester slacks.. What a playful tiger he is.
Throw your panties on the desk.

Is that an original apple mac behind him?
This picture could be the smoking gun!

Yarg. Deeply disturbing. In fact, I'm pretty sure I coulda lived my whole life without seeing that and done quite well, thank you.
