Henry is no stranger to this person. Paul Allen is the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, and his computer skills are not inferior to Bill. He and Bill Gates are two of the most famous computer prodigies in Seattle. They are also students at Lakeside School, however, Paul Allen is older as he is in the upper grades, while Bill Gates is in the lower grades.
Bill Gates then learns Henry is interested in computer programming, he is feeling excited. He has long wanted to study computer programming, but sadly his parents don't agree as they want him to become a lawyer. But deep down, he is very interested in computer programming as he feels that is the future.
There is a saying "People with the same hobby, race, and interest gather together.", so in less than 3 days, Steve Ballmer joins the Henry group as a friend. The Trio is then known as Three Madman.
