Random story. I was a young kid in the 90's and my dad took me by the biggest house I'd seen at that point in my life for some work party or something. Really nice landscaping, etc. It was clear the owner had A Lot Of Money.

I asked him afterwards how the guy got so rich and he told me that he wrote Microsoft's spellchecker.
