Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, visiting a Miami high school Monday to donate $1.1 million worth of computers and software, reminisced about his own student days, when computers were expensive, scarce and "just our hobby." "I was very lucky. I got in when nobody knew anything, and I had so much time just to read about it and play with it," Gates told computer students at Booker T. Washington High School.
