Total size with case is 6.5" x 10" Here is the backstory from the original owner: I was a single young computer tech living in Iowa at the time. Company sent me to COMDEX (the company was a local data center). As i was there Mr. Bill Gates was the main speaker .He was broadcast on Jumbotron tvs and i was a nobody young tech. I liked to talk with people though and an older guy started asking me questions on how i liked their products, what i thought of this.. then that etc. I started to wonder if it was an interview? He didn't have a camera. Just getting my opinions. He had a different colored badge i want to say mine was red and his blue. Or maybe the other way around. Either way we walked around the main auditorium talking. He said come here and check this out. Skeptical, it was in the building so i followed him. He got in line.. a long line. They were checking badges. I asked him for what? I don't have any credentials. He said it was a Microsoft backstage meet and greet. I was going for my MCSE at the time so i thought it was cool! After just a few minutes i got kind of uncomfortable and was about to say thanks and leave but they just flung open the doors and everyone started filing in fast. He said here.. stick with me. So i went in. I really did not know what to expect. There was Appetizers & H'orderves and drinks for everyone. As i was not an official guest, a guest i guess of my newly found interviewer who i found out did have a press pass, i didn't take any of the things to eat.Within a few minutes.. guess who came out.. Mr. Bill i have $60 BILLION in the bank Gates himself! Now i was not expecting this yet i though how cool it would be to maybe shake his hand, meet him, etc. So i saw a line form and i thought why not.I asked my friend for a pen to borrow and saw a white piece of paper on a table near me. I only saw the white part and didn't even turn it over. My plan was "Hello Mr. Gates, very nice to meet you sir, i'm studying for the MCSE and my friends will never believe i met you, would you kindly please sign this? "Well i got up there. He looks up and down at this young kid with glasses. Sternly he told me "Well.. SHE HAD MY BOOK..... but... i guess i'll sign that.What he meant was the lady in front of me knew she was coming to meet him and had his book, the Road Ahead and asked him to sign it. Here was this gangly young kid wanting a billionaire to sign a stupid piece of paper. Well. Joke was on both of us really. When i turned it over to my SHOCK it said GEEKFEST 97!!!!!!!!! I have the ULTIMATE GEEK signing a GEEKFEST 97 flyer!.
