Hey Mark,
Two guys in norhtern California decided they wanted to have a computer of their
own, so they build the Apple and started a whole new industry. A snot nosed kid
named Gates dropped out of a great University and snookered IBM big time. A
college kid in Texas started Dell in his dormatory now he is a force to be
reckoned with in retail; and I can give you a hundred more stories like that in
every industry in this country's economy. These people all had a passion and
they went for it full bore!
None of them sat around puffing their chest at the rest of us. With your
experience and contacts you should be able to raise money from this Midus you
worship; and put together a product that at least gives Cruz a run for his
money; if it doesn't make him and Edsel. So put or shut up; or as you would put
it yourself-- cut the shit. Your a bore no matter who you helped in this group.
Go and do it! AMA
