Over the course of last three years I've toyed with so many business ideas(from viagra to books on saving gas) isn't it fun to think back every once in a while and smile at the wierdness of some things you once did:)? -Zaid I can totally relate to this Brad.

I was around 12 years old or so. It was called "The Leather Shop," and I made custom leather goods (funny now that I'm generally anti-leather, and a vegetarian) for friends and family (mostly friends of my parents). Belts, wallets, bookmarks, and the like. Good times! Reminds me of my first “company.” I was around 12 years old or so.

I started two companies way back when I was in high school -- it seems like a lifetime ago, and was when online ads just started taking off...wow, brings back some memories...

This was their first PC clone. It ran MS-DOS, but had proprietary (and killer - at least for the time) graphics. We wrote everything in MS-Basic after messing around with DR CBasic for a while (which sucked rocks.) I did - however - work in a TI store for $3 / hour when I was in 11th grade for a while (until I determined that I could make $30 / hour tutoring high school senior girls for the SAT Math). We didn't sell many 99/4As in the retail store, but we played a lot of Yahtzee. It was actually Yahtzee for the TI Personal Computer. This was their first PC clone.
