HIGHLIGHTS: Michael Dell

Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everybody, I'm Nikola Tangan and today I'm here with one of the most incredible tech entrepreneurs of all times who started off in his freshman dorm room and built his company to one of the largest technology companies. in the world. Now, one third of you will have a PC with his name on.

Michael Dell, welcome. Thank you so much. Great to be with you. Normally Michael, I would kind of start with the present, but I think when it comes to you, we have to go all the way back, you know, with the beginning. So you you were very young and you bought an IBM computer.

And most people would kind of start to do computer things, but you took it apart instead. What did you how did that happen? What did you see inside that computer? Well, back then you could actually learn a lot because you didn't have these large chips that we have today that are an amalgamation of lots of small chips. And so you could literally uh get a book that would explain what each chip did.
