Some Assembly Required
An oldie but goodie from my friend (and employer) Daniel Pasco about perspective:
Unlike other hobbyist computers of its day, which were sold as kits, the Apple I was a fully assembled circuit board containing about 30 chips. However, to make a working computer, users still had to add a case, power supply, keyboard, and display. An optional board providing a cassette interface for storage was later released at a cost of $75.
Sometimes a first attempt can be a hit. But ask yourself: do you want to get lucky, or do you want to be sustainably great?
