Was (is) Bill Gates a sex symbol?

OK I found this on a blog I visit about once a month, and I just had to share it here.

WTF is this all about (circa 1983)

Hawt.

I don't know if that's really Bill Gates though. Maybe a look-a-like?

OK, he looks drunk to me. Although I do see some large floppy disks on his desk, nothing is working...

Then again, I'm a man too, so that probably has something to do with it.

Maybe it's just me, but if that were an advertisement for Microsoft way back when, I think Macintosh would be the more successful company.

If I had those in 1600x1200 resolution.. I know what my new desktop would be.

They look authentic, but too authentic. That just isn't Bill Gates. I dont think they're real.

That being said, despite his ultimate power and wealth, there is something about Bill Gates that will forever bar him from being associated with the word "Sexy."

aaah the 5 1/4"... those were the days....

the days that I could store 64k on single disk... a Palm program wastes that much memory just in code inefficiencies.

Why must people insist that any mildly amusing picture on the web has been altered? Except for the blurb on Slashdot about it being from "Tigerbeat", it is the real deal. Anyway, I'm just glad that Steve Ballmer was left out of the picture. Could you imagine the mania of that guy twenty years younger?

Money = sex = power.

Sex symbol with looks? Nah. But think of it like this... the ugliest celebrities have no problem whatsoever with gettin the ladies.

Women are attracted to men in positions of power.

Worth $29.5 billion? You could be 500 lbs and you would still be a sex symbol.
