Gates discovered it and soon became computer crazy.He spent every evening and weekend trying to master computer technology.His computer usage fees were so high that he hide from his parents the amount he spent.It wasn't long,though until his programming passion turned toward real goals.He and his friend Paul Allen started a company called Traf-0-Data.Their goal was to use new computer technology to count passing cars.The company went broke.After all he was only in the eighth grade.
