    This is what scares me, being the next Ronald Wayne...

    Missing the opportunity of a lifetime, and ending up living in a trailer would be a concern for me. Now, as I said before, I am mostly trying to make a case-study, I am not saying that every night I cry about this.

    This is what scares me, being the next Ronald Wayne...

    But the problem would be recognizing the billion dollar idea, something that Mr. Wayne wasn't capable of. Let me be clear, I am not trying to say "what if" just for the sake of it. I am using Wayne's case just because of its popularity. I am guessing what lesson can be learned from this...

    Bull. And a woman is something much different than a bitch. If you want to degrade in words other human beings, feel free to do so. But don't say that respect and disrespect are the same thing.
