Oh to be young again, and ugly! :throwup

Most people on this board weren't even born during that time. I was born in 1972 but damn. I would have been 4 years old rocking the stock market like a little female pimp, and making it big by the time I was 18. That's the only good thing I could think of from your question.

Actually I just posted the link to make fun of how ugly they all are. LOL

I'm pretty high and I didn't even see you posted a pic, sorry.

Someone posted the original pic here awhile back.

whoever made that page stole the pic from here.

I think Microsoft was a private company until 1986 when they had their IPO. So the average joe wouldn't have been able to invest in Microsoft in 1978 anyways.

Or they took it from here:

you think these guys ever took bong hits?:Graucho

If they all looked like Tom Cruise would that make your investment feel more safe?
The "nerds" in highschool are the ones who go on to make the big bucks.
Often times "Mr. Popular" football star ends up pumping gas for a living.
And your average fellow like me lives middle class.

How come we cant have a president like Bill Gates instead were stuck with some schmuck.

That would be funny is microsoft was run by models.

Yeah.. and did anybody know that back in 78?

Frog, very good call...I was never popular with the ladies back in the day, but now that I got the bling bling, it's all good

Can anyone point out who everyone in that pic is, and if they still work at MS?

Bottom left is Mr. Gates himself.

No kidding - and here I thought Bill Gates was the guy in the middle.

I thought it was the guy with the dark blue jacket with a white shirt.

No wonders, why this crew spent so much time in front of a computer.:1orglaugh

Bottom right is

Paul Allen.

He owns Ticketmaster, C/NET, Dreamworks...

In the middle, top, Steve Ballmer, current msft CEO.

I think now its the right time to buy msft shares again, the brokers rank it at 1.7, almost strong buy... and msft is the only company in the world with no debt and $40B in cash.

that is one ugly motley crew!

They all look the individuals from the Jonestown Tragedy. (Jim Jones followers.
