Every time I read one of these, makes me wonder if I'm seeing the next Apple, Microsoft or Google:

It only takes one good call on these small companies. I worked with someone whose college roommate was Steve Ballmer's sister. My friend bought MSFT stock when the question was Bill who?

She's living very comfortably, thank you for asking.
Let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness.

Richest anesthesiologist I know went all in on Intel many moons ago.

There are not many anesthesiologists who own a chalet in Aspen and a villa in Tuscany.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

If I invested $5k in Wal-Mart when I was born (1982), I'd have almost 3 million dollars right now. :-/
