this thread appears to be a year old, the original poster also appears to be banned or de-regged. the likelyhood that he will ever see this thread again is minimal. so who wants to start some crazy business with me?

Why would people want lighting fast computers? I mean if today's computers eventually meet all the demands of people they may not be willing to pay for it or invest in furthering the speed factor of this technology, there has to be a greater need for speed such as true virtual reality gaming or insane internet interactivity or bioelectrical interface devices that fuels people's desires and sparks their imaginations, but without those preceeding breakthroughs people are unlikely to invest and believe in it so it should fail due to being ahead of it's time, so timing is important, timing and lots of other things that are probably far more important actually.
You are also going to need someone to cast doubt and confusion on the team and generally be there to bring down spirits and create an atmosphere of slavishness and oppression... I mean order and discipline to help motivate/spur them on. And all good companies are founded on having a good juggler, no joke, every successful company throughout history has had a good juggler somewhere juggling away in the shadows you can research it for yourself if you don't believe me, it's amazingly predictable,,, that and a whole lot of coffee, coffee being in fact the stem of all human progress.
