[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Bill Gates's memoir 'Source Code: My Beginnings,' published February 4, 2025, is the first of a planned three-volume autobiography: the debut covers his childhood and the founding of Microsoft, with later books intended to address his Microsoft years and his philanthropy. The candid first installment debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list and reflected on his family, his competitiveness, and his early life. Gates has said the milestones of turning 70 and Microsoft turning 50 prompted him to look back.

Gates keeps a collection of rare and classic cars
Despite his reputation for frugality in some areas, Bill Gates has long indulged a passion for cars, assembling a collection that has included several Porsches — among them the 911 he has owned for decades and the storied 959 — as well as other classics. His automotive tastes, and the saga of importing the then-illegal 959, are among the more colorful footnotes of his personal life.

Gates retreats for solitary, twice-yearly 'Think Weeks'
For years Bill Gates retreated twice a year to a secluded cabin for a solitary 'Think Week,' during which he read stacks of papers, books, and employee proposals with no interruptions, emerging with strategic memos that shaped Microsoft's direction. The ritual became famous as a model of deep, focused thinking by a busy executive, and was credited with helping spark major pivots — including Microsoft's embrace of the internet. Gates carried the habit of voracious, deliberate reading into his philanthropy.
