Paul,
Where did i say I was jealous...?
I've started companies and brought them to fruition. I first retired when I just turned 33.
I'm happy for yours and others good fortune but sometimes luck has a lot to do with it...sometimes you make your own luck...sometimes you don't. Life is not a level playing field either, nor is it fair.
I'd say that hooking on with the future most profitable company in the world was a bit fortuitous...one could have easily hooked on with IBM or AMD at the time. Never the less...I certainly can't begrudge anyone who had such luck...but there are others, less fortunate, that might, and they would tax you to death just to get back at you...
Jim
