Re: OT: Bill gates, circa 1984
We were all required to read 1984 in my high school. That was one of the more interesting books we read.
Some of the other books we studied were:
The Crysalids
MacBeth
Of Mice and Men
Death of a Salesman
Lord of the Flies

Re: OT: Bill gates, circa 1984
The only one I remember is To Kill A Mockingbird. I guess the others were either so bad I supressed the memory or so boring I forgot them. TKAM was...um...Not my area of interest.
And if we're talking books, don't miss Katherine Kerr's Deverry series. I've seen author's try to be epic; to come up with a story that rivals Tolkein. Quite seriously, this one does.

Re: OT: Bill gates, circa 1984
I had to read "Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant". I sort of skimmed though it, looking at all the words as quick as possible but not registering it. I thought I had got the whole book till the teacher asked me about the flashbacks and time changes.

Re: OT: Bill gates, circa 1984
LMAO. Gates looks like he's stoned, if you ak me. At least he didn't start peeling his clothes off or anything. Hey man, who's got the Cheetos?
I remember a lot of stuff we read back in the dark ages. Along with the usual things kids read at that time was "The Fellowship of the Ring." I finished the trilogy sometime afterward. I had to. In fact, it's amazing the number of things I read that have since been made into movies, especially the comic books.

Re: OT: Bill gates, circa 1984
Ok I get it now. It was his um, boyish pose for the local 1984 lover boy clubs.
No offense of course intended for those who might take offense.
