Before long, Gates was an expert at working the school s computer. After his graduation from secondary school, Gates was accepted by the th
58、ree top universities in the USA-Princeton, Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in maths. But he was still obsessed (占据，心思) with computers and spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.By 1975, Gates and a partner,
59、Paul Allen, had developed a software program called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created, but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.

62、o he questioned about decisions he had made. He was regarded as a loner; an unfashionable boring computer nut until his marriage to Microsoft manager Melinda French on New Year s Day 1994.
