Also, the Extreme Entrepreneurs possess dimensions beyond those of "entrepreneurs" who duplicate an exisiting idea to get their share of the market... be it a pizza parlor or cyber-cafe.  Frankly, these people are business owners playing a game where the odds for success are already calculated:  Yes! People eat pizza. Yes!  Build a pizza and they will come, especially if it is bigger 'n better tasting for the same money.   And, if they don't come to you... offer the double-or-nothing... Free Delivery with a tasty coupon-with-purchase to assure the next order.  Trust me, Extreme Entrepreneurs never wait up saying, "It's time to make the donuts,"... pizza, or whatever four other people are awaking for in the same town.

I have witnessed the history of computer automation's successes since it's adolescence. I also knows of the missed expectations, costly churn, and dead-ends of technology's ever changing nature. To me,"Buying a cyber technology is like buy clothes for a teenager; growth and fashion outpace wear... And just as charity clothes bins are filled with such discards; so are most IT offices. Consequently, I promote functionality over tech popularity.
