From Guadalajara, 06/13/2009
In 1984, when the Macintosh had just released a dot matrix printer, a company called MacInTouch was raising money. Attendees at a Mac Users Group meeting in San Francisco were invited to buy in for $5000. MacInTouch evolved into Turbo Tax. I would be interested to know what that investment would have been worth today.
