I agree 100%....but to start, there are plenty of small businesses...too small for Dell's radar, but still need comps...the point is..it doesn't really matter what u sell....just that there so many tech types here...all about same age group...outta puit their heads together and start a company....using all UR spare parts for initial inv ofc  :)


What companies are "too small for Dell's radar"? My office has less than 20 people and we are fully covered by Dell corporate business. I really think you are making up a business segment that simply doesn't exist or wouldn't be a lucrative segment to go after.

I'll sell it to you guys for a discount? How about that? I don't want any part on this "business" ordeal. It'll be like a freaking money burning marathon.

Not that there isn't any talented people here, there are select individuals here that i know will succeed in life, but what you're talking about ghot is complete nonsense.

bro..it was just an idea...i see so many posts about ppl lookin for jobs...gettin degrees...learning to code....and then I think back to Jobs and Gates.

you guys could prolly think up a better product or range of products..ur more in tune with today than I am...hell I'm doin 2nd half of my last upgrade ever...next year lol

Maybe some new ...un-thought of use for the Cloud...I dunno..just not bit coins lol

Jobs and Gates made it without finishing degrees and going to school because:

1. They are both geniuses in their respective fields.
2. They were visionary and had fantastic business sense.
3. The industry for all intents and purposes was brand new. No one had a good product out yet.

naw bro....they made it coz they were the 1st ones to think of how to represent numbers and letters in binary...using transistors...transistors were invented in 1947...until they cam along...no one thot to combine them into a chip that could DO anything useful.

The already had computers...mechanical and analog...what Jobs and Gates did was...just make it digital :)

No they weren't. Neither one made the first personal computer or the first computer languages. Gates made the first widely available language (Microsoft BASIC) and Jobs/Wozniak made the first popular personal computer.

there is no way to compete on the entry level computer area. A lot of very small businesses DO use laptops now. Others use desktops, but at the prices dell has cornered for quality, reliability, and price. You're talking about a business for computer building, but thinking too low. The only area you can aim for is entry level gaming computers.

OOPS...right idea...wrong guys....

In 1959 both parties applied for patents. Jack Kilby and Texas Instruments received U.S. patent #3,138,743 for miniaturized electronic circuits. Robert Noyce and the Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation received U.S. patent #2,981,877 for a silicon based integrated circuit. The two companies wisely decided to cross license their technologies after several years of legal battles, creating a global market now worth about $1 trillion a year.

Jack Kilby holds patents on over sixty inventions and is also well known as the inventor of the portable calculator (1967). In 1970 he was awarded the National Medal of Science. Robert Noyce, with sixteen patents to his name, founded Intel, the company responsible for the invention of the microprocessor, in 1968. But for both men the invention of the integrated circuit stands historically as one of the most important innovations of mankind. Almost all modern products use chip technology.



Anyways..the whole point is..all ya gotta do..is figure out a NEW way to do something..maybe make the first device...that lets you hook consoles, PC's and entertainment centers together with...EASE...and so simple that grandma could do it.
