Pada paragraf kedua terdapat kalimat "Meanwhile, Paul Allen dropped out of Washington College to work on computers at Honeywell Corporation and convinced Gates to drop out of Harvard and join him in starting a new software company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They called it Micro-Soft" yang artinya "Sementara itu, Paul Allen keluar dari Washington College untuk bekerja pada komputer di Honeywell Corporation dan meyakinkan Gates untuk keluar dari Harvard dan bergabung dengannya dalam memulai sebuah perusahaan perangkat lunak baru di Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mereka menyebutnya Micro-Soft."
