Most young people were getting jobs in big companies, becoming company men. I wanted to be individual.

Atari showed that young people could start big companies. Without that example it would have been harder for Jobs and Bill Gates, and people who came after them, to do what they did.

I think it's good politics to beat up on big companies and rich people.

Most big companies work in stealth until they think they have a consumer product ready to go.

Big companies have always needed and cooperated in areas where it made sense.

It's easy to say that entrepreneurs will create jobs and big companies will create unemployment, but this is simplistic. The real question is who will innovate.
