I feel sad at this as he and Gates made an enormous contribution to tech(at the time). 65 is too young!
Indeed, he got a lot less press than BG. Paul Allen funded an awesome music museum in Seattle which is well worth a look. I heard he was a big jimmy hendrix fan and the museum has a large collection of jimi memorabilia.
He can also be admired for giving away so much money during his lifetime, something other mega-rich would do well to emulate. After all, you can't take it with you.

gzt: I wonder now how much of the alleged/rumored chair throwing and so on were influencened by his health issues.
That was Ballmer, not Paul Allen
gzt: anyway this is the Allen I remember: ).
I don't think he's in that video, he retired in 1982 from Microsoft when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease
