Which is why some people create no wealth.....

Which is why, when the wealth class creates nothing but money from
money---they contribute nothing to society

Creating Corporations that allow useless people to produce things that
are considered wealth, is creating wealth. *The person organizing the
production from nothing shares in the creation of that wealth. *Without
them creating and organizing a place for the otherwise unproductive
people to create wealth, no wealth would be created.

Where as the people on their own could NOT have produced anything of
wealth due to a lack of ability.

- Without Bill Gates, who would have

It was the IBM PC and IBM Corp that was the

MS Corp to become what it was in the 1990s.

IBM was the main driving force of 'mini-computers' in the early 80's .
HRM BG is one lucky SOB. And the rest is history *. . .

Sinclare was a tiny little computer that was affordable and you saved

Until IBM entered the market it was considered a hobby for geeks.
I bought an Altair 8800. A friend already had a Mark1 but he never
put it in a box. I got a TRS-80 then TRS-80 Mod4. CP/M was
catching on. Unix was going nowhere. IBM tried to buy CP/M but
Gary Kendal would have none of it. Microsoft said they could get it
for IBM but couldn't so they told a Seattle guy that Q-DOS was only
worth $5000 even though they had already sold it to IBM for $500,000.
I quite subscribing to Computer World when the declaired the
microcoputer
was finally a reality because IBM entered the market. Computer World
stopped reporting on hobby computing and focused on DOS machines.

It wasn't until Byte decared that Clintons tax increase was going to
kill the economy that I dropped Byte. Corporate media favors
corporations
because they pay the advertising dollars where hobbyists do not.
