It will depend on the rates your local electric company charges. If you have had an account in the past and have a good credit history, chances are they will not charge you a deposit. However, most have a set up fee. Make sure that your old house account has been turned off, so that you do not get double billed.

Yes, he has one dog, two cats, and one bird.

he was in his early 20's

Location and size of the dwelling are the most important factors, of course.

I was recently reviewing some census data which asked for the amount folks paid for their homes on the census form. Based on that data, I would roughly estimate that people in 1914 might have paid $ 800 for a basic house for a family of six, maybe.

He created Microsoft Corporation (not sure if he had partners), and made the Windows operating system. At the time, operating systems were basically text editors with no graphics at all. Windows was a more user-friendly system, sporting graphics to help end users understand the computer. This was a huge success, and competitors soon imitated. This helped computers reach the popularity they have today.

He was 13 years old when he became interested in programming.

They(Gates and Paul Allen) first developed BASIC, an instruction set for a very early computer platform developed at MIT. They called their company Micro-Soft. They later bought an early version of DOS (disk operating system) then started to develop it into a more user friendly operating system for IBM, which they called MS DOS. Eventually, they created Windows when PC's started to take hold in the market and they saw a need for a common operating system.

Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in a family having rich business, political and community service background. His great-grandfather was a state legislator and a mayor, his grandfather was vice president of national bank and his father was a lawyer. Bill strongly believes in hard work. He believes that if you are intelligent and know how to apply your intelligence, you can achieve anything. From childhood Bill was ambitious, intelligent and competitive. These qualities helped him to attain top position in the profession he chose. In school, he had an excellent record in mathematics and science. Still he was getting very bored in school and his parents knew it, so they always tried to feed him with more information to keep him busy. Bill’s parents came to know their son's intelligence and decided to enroll him in a private school, known for its intense academic environment. It was a very important decision in Bill Gate's life where he was first introduced to a computer. Bill Gates and his friends were very much interested in computer and formed "Programmers Group" in late 1968. Being in this group, they found a new way to apply their computer skill in university of Washington. In the next year, they got their first opportunity in Information Sciences Inc. in which they were selected as programmers. ISI (Information Sciences Inc.) agreed to give them royalties whenever it made money from any of the group’s program. As a result of the business deal signed with Information Sciences Inc., the group also became a legal business. Bill Gates and his close friend Allen started new company of their own, Traf-O-Data. They developed a small computer to measure traffic flow. From this project they earned around $20,000. The era of Traf-O-Data came to an end when Gates left the college. In 1973, he left home for Harvard University. He didn’t know what to do, so he enrolled his name for pre-law. He took the standard freshman courses with the exception of signing up for one of Harvard's toughest mathematics courses. He did well over there, but he couldn’t find it interesting too. He spent many long 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. Gates and his friend Paul Allen remained in close contact even though they were away from school. They would often discuss new ideas for future projects and the possibility of starting a business one fine day. At the end of Bill's first year, Allen came close to him so that they could follow some of their ideas. That summer they got job in Honeywell. Allen kept on pushing Bill for opening a new software company. Within a year, Bill Gates dropped out from Harvard. Then he formed Microsoft. Microsoft's vision is "A computer on every desk and Microsoft software on every computer". Bill is a visionary person and works very hard to achieve his vision. His belief in high intelligence and hard work has put him where he is today. He does not believe in mere luck or God’s grace, but just hard work and competitiveness. Bill’s Microsoft is good competition for other software companies and he will continue to stomp out the competition until he dies. He likes to play the game of Risk and the game of world domination. His beliefs are so powerful, which have helped him increase his wealth and his monopoly in the industry. Bill Gates is not a greedy person. In fact, he is quite giving person when it comes to computers, internet and any kind of funding. Some years back, he visited Chicago's Einstein Elementary School and announced grants benefiting Chicago's schools and museums where he donated a total of $110,000, a bunch of computers, and provided internet connectivity to number of schools. Secondly, Bill Gates donated 38 million dollars for the building of a computer institute at Stanford University. Gates plans to give away 95% of all his earnings when he is old and gray.

Yes, he completed High School. He did not complete college, but I'm sure he has received Honorary degree's.

Apple licensed some aspects of the Macintosh operating system to Microsoft so they could develop their Windows operating system. Apple took Microsoft to court as they felt that they had taken more than the licensing agreement allowed for. It was subsequently found that Microsoft had used some of Apple's programming for their Quicktime software in their own Media Player. These disputes were resolved after several years and the two companies agreed to be more cooperative.

Paul Allen helped Bill Gates start Microsoft. They started Microsoft as a small company. Over the years, the company expanded to what it is today.

Bill gates did not invent the computer just the latest software IBM invented the first computer and a very basic software the did not come with the the computer it came sepralety when bought I hope this helps as I am a computer engineer myself thanks

Microsoft is a multimillion Corporation that was founded by the riches man in the world Bill Gates. There are over 79,000 employees at Microsoft.

Bill Gates first started Microsoft as a way to sell software that would run on an Altair computer. He and his partner realized that there was a need for much more software, and they began to create products that would fill that need.

Microsoft was discovered in April 4, 1975 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Microsoft Corporation was founded by one man (Bill Gates), but there were two people: Paul Allen (Bill's childhood friend) and Bill Gates.
