Dell computers, Michael Dell
Dell computers are the most purchased computers at this time. They started as a small competitor to Compaq. When Compaq knocked IBM out of the PC business, Dell started workingon Compaq.
Dell didn't do remarkably well in school earning the comment from one teacher, "He will probably never go anywhere in life."
He started college wanting to be a physician. He started a computer business in his dorm and at 19 dropped out to run the business that was more successful than his academic attempts.
Since then his company is so successful, he and his wife donated $50 million for the construction of 3 new facilities at the University of Austin.

There are perhaps many Michael Dell's out there. But the only lad I know off is Michael Dell the founder of Dell computers. He started in his garage or something and then got very lucky.

Michael Dell
entrepreneur, founder of Dell Computer Corporation
Born: 2/23/1965
Birthplace: Houston, Tex.
Having begun selling computers out of his dorm room at the University of Texas, Dell pioneered the concept of selling computers directly to consumers, built to their specifications and without the added costs of retail distributors. The idea has proven to be quite profitable, and has been belatedly adopted by other computer makers who are struggling to keep up with Dell Computer Corporation's phenomenal success. By targeting educated consumers (i.e., corporations and government agencies), Dell is able to avoid the expense of heavy investments in building and maintaining retail channel sales and the after-sale burden of supporting unsophisticated users, though the company has a well-deserved reputation for its technical support services. He wisely passes this savings on to consumers, who have returned the favor by becoming repeat customers.
