Alex: My goals: 1. make a billion dollars. 2. Make another. Bernie: So, Alex, given any more thought to what you want to be when you grow up? Alex: Uh huh. I've decided I want to found the next Microsoft, Uncle Bernie! Bernie: Hee, hee! I'm afraid there'll never be another Microsoft, Alex. Microsoft is in the business of preventing that from happening!
