Comment on An open letter to hobbyists by Bill Gates (1976)

Comments

Bill Gates experienced in 76 what now is quite obvious: any content + computer = unlimited number of copies.

Photocopiers and books never stopped authors. It's all about the packaging and the full-service offered. A book is nice because it is bound, or comes with extra goodies. If your software is just software, well, step up your sales game.
