Gordon Bell's guide to High Tech Ventures

Written back in the 80's (it seems), but it's kept me amused for most of the evening now.

There's some formatting weirdness, but it reinforces my impression that Gordon has a highly developed sense of humour. Haven't yet finished the first chapter (I'm busy searching for VAX hardware for my startup), but it's pretty good as first chapters go (and I should know, I've made a career out of reading first chapters).
