Kevin has sent in an edition of a newsletter that is a perennial favorite. I understand why the info is popular, it is badly needed. note that what i teach is rather along these lines, and why I teach is this info has largely disappeared. Once upon a time, it was passed on from entrepreneur to successor. now there are too few entrepreneurs. but this part...
But other than that anachronism, the info is very good... give it a read.
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
Bill Gates is known as "America's richest man." ... Gates bought the system for a mere $50,000 and presented it to IBM. That was the beginning of Microsoft's rise to power.I'll argue with because in fact Apple today is bigger than Microsoft, far more profitable... Gates IS still trying to come out with something more useful... Microsoft is a lousy marketer, simply riding on Government sales, and not an innovator.
Apple had by far the best product in the Mac. But Apple made a monumental mistake. They refused to license ALL PC manufacturers to use the Mac operating system. If they had, Apple today could beMicrosoft, and Gates would still be trying to come out with something useful (the fact is Microsoft has been a follower and a great marketer, not an innovator).
But other than that anachronism, the info is very good... give it a read.
