Images Billgates01Dig these slinky photos of Bill Gates from Teen Beat, circa 1983 1984 1985. Link (Thanks Aurgasm!)

UPDATE: Mark was the first to point out that the Macintosh on the desk behind him would indicate that this photo was taken in 1984 at the earliest.

UPDATE: BB reader Jennifer Dickert points to a Museum of Hoaxes post stating that celebrity photographer Deborah Feingold snapped these images in 1985. There's no evidence they appeared in Teen Beat. Link
