With the iPhone 6 announcement tomorrow I thought this less known fact would be interesting to some

Apple wasn’t started by just two guys named Steve. Besides Jobs and Wozniak, the oft-forgotten third founder of Apple is Ronald Wayne, who left the fledgling company 12 days after it was founded in April 1976.


Wayne sold his 10 percent share of the company for $800, plus an additional $1,500 payout later that year. That share would be worth more than $60 billion today. In a 2011 interview with Bloomberg Television, the now-80-year-old Wayne said he had no regrets. < Ya right!
 
Beatles "Have No Future In Show Business"
Mike Smith was an executive in charge of evaluating talent for Decca Records when he traveled to Liverpool, England, to listen to an up and coming band. He was impressed. The band had unmistakable talent, so he brought them to Decca's London office for an audition on New Year's Day 1962. The band played 15 songs, went home and waited for an answer.
When they finally heard the answer, Decca's famous reply was that, "guitar groups are on the way out" and "the Beatles have no future in show business".

Ya right!
 
So, the moral is . . .
