         I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
    University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
    his own software.     But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
    all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
         Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
    Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
    that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
    software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
    programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
    stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
         He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
    many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
