The Gov. is an ex-COO from Gateway. I guess this is what they mean by making government run like a business. EDIT: Sorry, I had the wrong company down as Dell

EDIT: Sorry, I had the wrong company down as Dell and CEO before. Don't post from memory folks.
- blihp 7y agoIt's worse than that: he was the ex-COO from Gateway (not Dell). They were essentially a Dell wannabe that was even more poorly run.
- tehjoker 7y agoThanks for the correction.

I recall taking some community college computer course in sophomore(10)/junior(11) year of high school about 1994 and the lecturer predicting the sub-$1k computer. https://www.cnet.com/news/the-secret-history-of-the-sub-1000-computer https://www.cnet.com/news/the-secret-history-of-the-sub-1000...
