Have you ever started your own business from nothing more than an idea,
that no one has ever done ever in the entire history of the world?

Well, let's see, it took Steve Jobs less time to go from an idea to a
billion-dollar corporation than it has taken this guy to go from an idea
to an ad on web site. Maybe he should see if Jobs will consult eg.

Steve Jobs had no one fighting him tootj and nail. I'd like to see someone
try to do what he has done today, in a developed computer world. Your
argumnent is quite simply not apples to apples...

Shall we talk about Dell, or Compaq? Or Extreme Networks and Brocade?

Or Egenera? Fabric 7?

all examples of companies starting in the face of entrenched competitors
but with differentiated product. Most would argue that they were and
are successful at it.
