Bill Gates - The Road Ahead CD-ROM version
Posted by: LCGuy on 2009-02-09 19:23:44
Had some spare time today so I went to the local Lifeline thrift shop, where I saw a copy of The Road Ahead (a book Bill Gates wrote back in the '90s) on CD-ROM. It contains the full text from the book (i think its searchable with hypertext and stuff too, haven't tried it yet though), as well as an interview with Bill Gates himself (listenable on any audio CD player), and "Video demonstrations of future technology".

How much did I pay for all this awesomeness? $2. 🙂

My local library has that book, but I have not checked it out yet. It's from 1995, isn't it?

Yeah, before the internet ;-)

My dad bought a copy back when it was published. I think i still have it kicking around here somewhere.

I think we have a copy kicking around here somewhere. I seem to remember seeing it on our book shelf during my child hood, but it must have gotten misplaced in the move. If I ever find it, I will let you all know. I think it was the CD-ROM version as well, though it also had a book.
