...someone's garage trying to invent the next Mac. This is Microsoft's Red West campus, in the Olympian heights of Redmond, Wash. These sleep-deprived souls are software engineers--trained to write code, not dirty their hands with metalwork.

The engineers have been up so long on this frazzled assembly line because their boss--Bill Gates, a man whose tolerance for failure is minuscule--needs to demonstrate his company's tentative entry into the games-console market.

The table tennis team holds open hours Tuesdays 9:30 to 11:00 p.m. and, to kickoff the weekend, Fridays 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. at the MAC mezzanine. To knock around the old shuttlecock with the badminton team, e-mail the new team president Ye Tian at tian@fas.harvard.edu...
