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.

Neither does SawStop. The existing manufacturers declined to use that
product; that is not the same as "fighting tooth and nail" to prevent it
coming to market.

Further, there is an almost exact parallel. The Apple prototype was
constructed after hours in HP's laboratories. When it was complete, the
two Steves went to their supervisor with it, demonstrated it, and asked if
this was a product that HP wanted to market. After going through whatever
process they go through, HP decided that it wasn't and granted the two
Steves a waiver of any rights that they had to it, at which point they
started their own company to sell the thing and the rest is history.

So HP was "fighting tooth and nail" just as hard as Delta and Jet are
fighting against Sawstop.
