Barry,

Gates had very supportive and wealthy parents....patron and matron of the arts in Seattle. Gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities and the Univ Of Wash each year. Also gave money to Bill for his little startup back in the 80's. Read the books.

Jobs had quite a few connections with money. Mainly other high profile techies and investors in California, I think.

Whilst both entrpeneurs started out with no garages, their family and connections made them wealthy today.

And by the way, Gates' parents spent thousands of dollars to send young William to the finest private school in Seattle on the shores of Lake Washington called Lakeside High. There he met Paul Allen. And the story goes on from there.
