[HB0049][GDrive] In the words of narrator Paul Allen: "OVER CHRISTMAS, Bill [Gates] got a call from Bud Pembroke, the guy who’d hired us to do the ISI payroll program. A massive software project for the Bonneville Power Administration’s electrical grid was behind schedule, and Bud was scouring the region for programmers who knew their way around a PDP- 10. I was not quite twenty and Bill was only seventeen, but age was not a criterion. “And you’re going to be on salary,” Bud said. Bill said, “How much?” And Bud said, “One hundred sixty- five dollars a week.” Four dollars an hour was a pittance for an experienced programmer, even then, but Bill and I couldn’t believe our good fortune. Here was a chance to work together again on a PDP- 10, and for pay! I was glad to take a leave of absence from Washington State. Bill had completed his required courses at Lakeside and got approval to pursue an off-campus senior project for his final semester. We told Bud to count us in. Bill and I piled into his orange 1967 Mustang convertible and drove south to Vancouver, Washington, a land of strip malls, car washes, and a vintage A&W Root Beer drive- in stand where we’d become regulars. We found a cheap two- bedroom apartment and showed up for work on a Monday in January 1973.
Good money! See [HW003M][GDrive] : "By the age of seventeen Gates received a proposal for writing a software package for Bonneville Dam, which his parents didn’t reject. For a one-year work on this project Gates received $30,000 dollars." Source - Interview: Bill Gates, Co-Founder and Chairman, Microsoft Corporation - March 17, 2010, Seattle, Washington Source - [HW003P][GDrive] Bill Gates: My parents had been fantastic throughout my whole student career. [...] That my senior year at Lakeside, where I had wanted to take time off and do this job at TRW, they'd been very supportive of that, letting me live down in Vancouver, Washington. I challenged them a little bit when some of my coworkers at TRW said I should skip undergraduate and just go to graduate school, and they were not enthused about that. It looked like I would have an opportunity to do that, but I didn't, I just went to Harvard.
