I just need to get my modesty and humility up a notch and I will be. But surprising to you though it might be, I too have been dopey to the extent of making a new years resolution last December to take up drinking alcohol so that I too would be "one of the boys". It's hard work. I have no idea how anyone could be an alcoholic. After a couple of glasses of wine, one's brain becomes quite addled and judgment is defenestrated. I even decided to go whole hog and buy a carton of beer, which I did. I went into a big chiller room and started window shopping. Did you know that there are many many many kinds of beer. I bought the cheapest, 'Flame" beer, which also had a high alcohol content at 5.2% or so to get bang for buck. It's a lager. It's too cold to stay in there long so a quick retreat was necessary. But I guess you've never "experimented" with this dangerous drug however. Admirable. And that probably explains why you have accomplished so much more in your life than Steve Jobs, who obviously never amounted to anything. > How do you know it wasn't Steve Jobs' dirty socks which got him there? More likely it was despite his stupidity with dopey ideas. Anyway, he was just in the right place at the right time and had the good sense to hire the right people who knew what to do. It was MY invention which enabled him to make a lot of money. In 1989 I invented CDMA, then hired the Qualcomm people to do it. Which they did. We even had the pdQ in production [the iPhone precursor]. Unfortunately, the Qualcomm management didn't persevere and get it right, selling the handset division to Kyocera which failed to take the world's greatest opportunity handed to them on a plate. Steve Jobs happened to have got his old job back and having made the iPod, had the sense to do the obvious and include CDMA.
