There was talk of this back in 2007 when a massive layoff happened. I'll believe it when it actually occurs.

Dell founded the company at age 19 in 1984.

If only you could go back in time... who would have thought a 19yo back then would end up with this.

As long as my warranty isn't affected I am fine with whatever they do. Give me till April and the company can crash and die.

He wasn't the first...Bill Gates/Steve Jobs. I'm sure there have been others before, but those two were also tech related.

Go back in time? Buy Apple shares (shhh I know) and sell them when they hit $700 a share = more than enough money to keep me busy for the rest of my life...

Hell, if I could go back in time, I would have invested in Walmart!!! 1970 to be exact. Walmart opened at $16.50 a share. In '71 the stock split and was going for $47 a share, then again in '72 at $47.50 share! A $1,650 investment would be worth $19,000 in two years! The stock had split SEVEN times by 1985 making your investement worth $636,800 not including dividends!!!

You list Steve Jobs but not The Woz?

Fair enough. The Woz is amazing. That being said, he is also 5 years older than Jobs...well was...whatever. Anyway, the point was being made about young entrepreneurs yes 26 is still young to most in the business world but more common then say 19-21.
