For the many of us that use technology as a daily part of life, we may not be aware of the affect that Bill Gates and Microsoft had on the tech boom of the 1980s-1990s. Despite being depicted as a shrewd businessman, Gates is now one of the biggest philanthropists in the world, along with fellow billionaire Warren Buffet. Offered here is a January 1997 TIME Magazine cover, signed & inscribed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who the magazine says is "shaping our future". The magazine has been framed and matted nicely with two photos of a young Gates and a quote from the mastermind. Overall in excellent condition with some wear to the cover itself. Authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services/Steve Grad with a full letter of authenticity.
