#7> Turns out Bill and childhood buddy Paul Allen had startup ideas well before Microsoft. The pair came up with something they called "Traf-O-Data."
I dislike the use of "turns out" here, as if new data is being revealed. I read a biography of Gates back when I was in college (maybe around 1990), and I know that Traf-O-Data was mentioned there.

Bill Gates' full name is William Henry Gates III (which sounds old-money and is). "Trey" is a common nickname for children who are III.
