Silicon Cowboys Page #10

---

I use iphones, I

use ipads, and I

Do know that if compaq

developed those products-- now,

I'm not taking anything

away from those guys.

Those guys did magnificent

job, and they can sell them

To dead people, but if we

did them they'd work better,

I know that.

If anybody had tried to

tell me how successful

Compaq would become,

I would've just said,

You're blowing smoke.

That's not possible.

We never, ever had

any idea that this

Would be as explosively

successful as it was, never.

I don't think we were

ever trying to take

Down the biggest company, ever.

We were trying to survive.

Here was a product and

an idea for a start up

That should have been in

silicon valley, if anywhere.

But houston?

Give me a break.

I had no idea we

were going to be doing

A billion dollar

company-- I mean,

The billion dollar baby was ibm.

How can I even conceive,

or think, that we

Would be an ibm in that sense?

No way, not the slightest.

I would still like to

have a mexican restaurant.
