He took the standard freshman courses with theexception of signing up for one of Harvard’s toughest mathematics courses. Hedid well over there, but he couldn’t find it interesting too. He spent manylong nights in front of the school’s computer and the next day asleep in class.After leaving school, he almost lost himself from the world of computers. Gatesand his friend Paul Allen remained in close contact even though they were awayfrom school.
