Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen may be buying property on a block in Albuquerque, N.M., where he and Bill Gates started the world's No. 1 software company in 1975, the Seattle Times reported. Purchases by a holding company registered at the address of Allen's lawyer are prompting rumors that Allen, a billionaire who built the Experience Music Project rock 'n' roll museum in Seattle, will build a museum or shrine to the birthplace of Microsoft, the paper said.
Allen's investment company declined comment on the acquisitions, the paper said. Allen and Gates started Microsoft in a suite at the Albuquerque offices of computer maker MITS in a strip mall. There they produced Microsoft's first product, a computer language for the first mass-marketed personal computer.
