Another easy to read (auto)biography. Unlike so many of his ilk, Paul Allen found many ways to enjoy his money.

It just goes to show you the importance of educating our children and providing them dreams. How many besides Paul Allen were inspired by the Seattle World's Fair? There are a lot of chapters that themselves could have been turned into books. An interesting man and an interesting life, I enjoyed the blend of tech history and to learn more about his impact on the NW region. Strange to learn that I've now been at MSFT longer than he was!

Not everyone is that lucky to be the co-creator and co-founder of the world's richest and the world's most successful tech company in the world. Some of us are born far away from the luckiest star, and far away from nepotism and have got to work immensely hard to make our dreams come true and eventually live life of wealth, luxury, and abundance. Paul Allen is unfortunately no longer with us, but he was indeed an idea man, a seemingly very smart man who has conquired the world along with another man who's still alive and kicking, and a lot more famous than he ever was. But that doesn't really matter, does it? He was one of the few minds behind the creation of Microsoft, and his name will live forward for as long as Microsoft shall live, and that is one of this man's greatest accomplishments that he shall be remembered by many people for many computer tech generations to come.… (más)
