Direct From Houston: Dell is Born
| |
| In 1999, Michael Dell was giving a lecture on the ABCs of entrepreneurship to a business class at his psuedo-alma mater, the University of Texas. When it came time for the question and answer period, one of the students eagerly stood up and asked Dell why, despite being worth over $17 billion, he continues going to work each day. “You’ve got so much money,” the student said. “Why don’t you just sell out, buy a boat, and sail off to the Caribbean?” Dell stared back at the student and replied, “Sailing’s boring. Do you have any idea how much fun it is to run a billion-dollar company?” |

Do I Practice What I Preach?
| |
| At dinner I was pondering the answer I gave on the post How An Entrepreneur Can Protect Himself Post-Funding.

This is what Jenny was going to use to introduce me until she chickened out. |

Shocking Treatment Proposed For AIDS
| |
| "Shocking treatment proposed for AIDS
Zapping the AIDS virus with low-voltage electric current can nearly eliminate its ability to infect human white blood cells cultured in the laboratory, reports a research team at
the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
William D. Lyman and his colleagues found that exposure to 50 to 100 microamperes of
electricity - comparable to that produced by a cardiac pacemaker - reduced the infectivity
of the AIDS virus (HIV) by 50 to 95 percent. Their experiments, described March 14 in
Washington, D.C., at the First International Symposium on Combination Therapies,
showed that the shocked viruses lost the ability to make an enzyme crucial to their
reproduction, and could no longer cause the white cells to clump together - two key signs
of virus infection."
