Summary
"At the dawn of the Information Age in 1963, a computer salesman in Texas saw an opportunity where IBM, his former employer, saw only dusty oil camps. This young entrepreneur, who had grown up dirt-poor in rural Louisiana during the Great Depression, staked his young family's livelihood on the notion that computers would help out local businesses - and quite possibly, revolutionize the way America did business."--Dust jacket.

Formatted Contents Note
Thinking beyond Tallulah
Taking that hill for Big Blue
There's a pony in there somewhere
Never let your wallet tell you what you can do
Talent goes where the action is
An accidental bonanza
If you can't join 'em, lick 'em
Learn, baby, learn!
Mining your own business
Exploit the chaos
How Jonah swallowed the whale
When all around you are losing their heads
Let a thousand super-entrepreneurs bloom
The sweet spot at last
The $8 billion harvest
Investing the time to invest wisely
We're doing this for Ray
The dirty politics of clean energy
Epilogue: We need a cat.
