Microsoft staff, before and after

In one part of the Money Programme special on Bill Gates and Microsoft (below), we see the original team being reassembled to repeat the photograph taken in 1978, before the company left Albuquerque. Pity they didn't match the original, which is usually a good idea with before and after shots.

Newsweek has just published the pair, in low resolution. It notes:

Present for the reunion was office manager Miriam Lubow (center of new picture), who missed the original sitting due to a snowstorm. (When Lubow, now retired, first met Gates, she couldn't believe that disheveled kid was the president.) Absent for the reshoot was Bob Wallace (top center), who died in 2002; after leaving Microsoft in 1983, he pioneered the idea of shareware.
