Microsoft Corp co-founder Paul Allen, the man who persuaded
school-friend Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard to start what became the
world's biggest software company, died on Monday at the age of 65, his family
said.
Allen left Microsoft in 1983, before the company became a
corporate juggernaut, following a dispute with Gates, but his share of their
original partnership allowed him to spend the rest of his life and billions of
dollars on yachts, art, rock music, sports teams, brain research and real
estate.
Allen died from complications of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a
type of cancer, the Allen family said in a statement.
Cancer is an epidermic. I'm beginning to assume it is the pestilence associated with the dreaded end-of-days apocalypse and we don't even realize this...
