It is a mistake to "credit" Bill Gates with "dropping out" of Harvard. He did not. He was expelled from Harvard for improperly using the school's computer systems for personal business. He was warned multiple times and eventually expelled. The only evidence I have for this story is Prof. Fischer. Fischer taught an Intro to Communications class to me when I was in High School at Boston College. He was at Harvard during the tenure of Gates and claimed to be personally familiar with the situation invloving the library computers.
