Jobs offered to let Sony into iTunes, report says

The following dialog came to mind: Around 1989 or 1990:

B.G.: Mr. Perot, I am looking for an investor in my company so I can expand it. You would get a boatload of stock and be on the board.

R.P.: No one is going to buy that cr@p for their houses. Computers are never going to catch on beyond industrial use, so why would I want to get saddled with all that personal computing mess?

Guess who has the bigger house and yacht now? Whatever happened to ol' Ross anyway?; Posted by: AbsolutelyNot Posted on: 09/07/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
