Philip Gale
Philip Gale (1978-1998) was an American pioneering Internet software developer, computer prodigy, and sophomore student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was notable for having written Total Access while at MIT, and was hired by EarthLink at the age of 16 to work on its development. Today the company has more than one million users. By the age of 17, Gale had earned roughly a million dollars' worth of stock options at Earthlink for his innovative ISP programs.〔 In 1995, Gale's father died from a heart attack, and friends said Gale struggled to come to terms with the loss. He returned to MIT in 1996 and became a music major. After complaints of being bored and depressed, on March 13, 1998, about 7:30 p.m., Gale broke a window and jumped to his death from a classroom on the fifteenth floor of a building on the MIT campus. He was nineteen. == Early life and education == Philip Chandler Gale (born 1978, Los Angeles, California) and his younger sister Elizabeth were the children of Marie and David Gale, a software programmer, both committed to the Church of Scientology, in which the mother was a high official. The family moved from LA to New Hampshire when Philip was young, and he showed "an early aptitude for numbers and machines."〔 Seeing his abilities, Marie taught him at home with another mother, and said that before the age of five, he was reading and doing math at the second and third-grade level.〔 Later they lived in Clearwater, Florida, Charlotte, North Carolina;〔 Utah and Oregon. Gale attended boarding school in the northwest from the age of eight. He lived and studied at The Delphian School in Sheridan, Oregon, a private Scientology boarding school. He graduated from there at age 14.〔 At that time, his family had moved to Utah. Gale got a job in programming at the marketing firm where his father worked, but he had contentious relations with fellow workers, as he could outperform many older programmers and had a tendency to treat people who were not as intelligent as he was with contempt.〔
