[kictanet] Kenya's "Silicon Savannah" to challenge India on IT

[robert yawe]

Hi,

Find out when he envisioned the products and features then relate it to the time 
when he acquired the fixed expenses in his life.

Please follow the trail of all those who have come up with current industry 
changing technologies and you will agree with me that they did the perspiration 
stage mostly when in campus.

I must challenge you there Robert. What do rent and kids have to do with 
creativity, drive and passion? Jonathan Ive, the principal designer of the iMac, 
titanium and aluminum PowerBook G4, MacBook, unibody MacBook Pro, iPod, iPhone, 
and iPad has a wife and two kids. Twins. Doesn't seem to have slowed him down 
any.
