[aclug-L] Re: Starting an E-Business...Just need a couple of things.

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First thing you'll need is some capitol... Do you have any VCs interested in
your business plan?  With that money, you can begin advertising... placing
ads in computer publications, etc.

Any print shop can do personalized business cards.

A couple questoins I have... who will be in your R&D dept?  How are your
prototypes working?

Building desktop PCs is easy... you can assemple premanufactured parts (I do
that all the time).

Building laptops and stereos is a much larger task... probably requiring
hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, to put together an R&D
department and a manufacturing plant.

Useless fact #2: The national anthem of Greece has 158 verses. No one in
Greece has memorized all 158 verses.
