Thread: Hope no one minds my posting a excerpt from Tornado (from page 168-9) How do you dance with a gorilla in a tornado and come away in one piece? their business, and the customer, seeking an increasingly preintegrated whole product, will support the gorilla's effort to design us out. We have had a temporary permit to market our product within the gorilla's domain. As the permit approaches expiration, we need to migrate our business to some new, hopefully related area, and cede the commodity portion of it back to the gorilla, and, instead of resenting the Microsofts and Intels and IBM's and Suns for designing us out, leverage what business we can, and thank them for the ride. Why don't most companies act this gracefully? is what we were doing). If our investors thought differently then they, and perhaps we, have been setting a false value on our equity.
