    sir.

    at the time while he was even contemplating starting this world of information technology, there was already computers, networking, emailing, operating systems (hint hint) and many more.

    he just have been a successful (thats also questionable in many ways, if you get the backing from big boys like him, theres high chance that you can succeed too) entrepreneur, and if he wasnt there, today you'd be saying that about someone else.
