To Blonddi Bill Gates did not invent computer, he invent operating software system call Microsoft Window

Answer 1

bill gates invented the computer.. yet he couldn't build one.. he got someone to do it for him.. plain and simple..

besides... that was centuries ago!!.. there was no such thing as money... they traded

Answer 2

Probably in 600 C.E. or so you didn't need to write everything down in terms of business transactions - a lot may have been done by memory and oral contracts, since most people could not read or write.

And illiterate people can often count money.

You are right however that he was illiterate (despite the protestations of someone below). When the angel first appeared to Muhammed and told him to 'read' or 'recite' (the word in Arabic means both) his first reaction, apart from being terrified, was to say that he couldn't.

Answer 3

He was not illiterate. The first verse brought to prophet Muhammad was
"Read! In the name of your Lord who creates...." (96:1)
Why would that have been sent first if Muhammad was illiterate?

Answer 4

you don't need to know how to read to do business back then.business today isn't like it is was in the past.

Answer 5

He was successful because of his band of sword wielding thugs.

Answer 6

This question makes no sense.

Answer 7

He had many trustworthy advisors.

Answer 8

Like all thugs, he paid others to do all his dirty work
