It's Thursday, March 13, 1986: Microsoft, founded more than a decade earlier and already a powerhouse in the world of personal computer software, executes an initial public stock offering that will raise $61 million for the company and leave 30-year-old co-founder Bill Gates unfathomably wealthy. | ||

Yea, yea yea, but take a different time line and MSs stock has been flat. If you invested ten years ago the most you can say about MS stock is that they have paid a dividend.
No one knows this better than Balmer and Gates. |

Screw that. I wish I could go back in time to the early 90's when I was a tech for one of the first ISPs in my city. I thought about registering beer.com, wine.com, sex.com, computer.com etc but didn't want to spend the money with InterNIC for all the domains (I was young and didn't have a lot of money for pie-in-the-sky ideas). If I had done so (and those domains were most definitely all available), I'd be worth hundreds of millions of dollars today. But I didn't.
