Best Answer

Yes, he wrote his first program at 13 with the local school's Teletype Model 33. It was a simple tic-tac-toe game that allowed the user to play against the computer. He wrote the program in BASIC. He and Paul Allen met at this time, and they went in to business together only two years later, netting $20,000 with a software called Trafo-Data. Soon getting a contract to provide a operating system for IBM and the rest was history.
