Born: 1964-05-19 - Died: 2011-10-02
Don Lapre was a TV pitchman and a well known marketing
salesman and informercial huckster. His work involved such
products as "The Greatest Vitamin in the World" and the
"Making Money Package".
On Lapre's website, DonLapre.com, he has a statement which almost reads as a suicide note:
I tried to create the best product on earth, paid out millions, made very little trying to make it a
success, had attorneys review my entire company, paid out millions in refunds, tried to make
the commission and products better every single year, and in spite of all that, I have been
accused of something I did not do. I did not have the perfect company but never once did I
allow one thing to be done that would violate any law. Nevertheless, because the majority of
people did not make money, in spite of everyone of them being able to make as many $1000
checks as they wanted, I am left to fight a battle that will for sure destroy what energy I have
left inside... I hope the pictures below motivate you to take a chance in life and try to do the
impossible... It did not work out for me with my vitamins but I believe that being willing to fail
is part of having a chance at success.... Never stop dreaming and for all those who sent me
testimonials of what you did because of some of my help, I am grateful I made a small
difference in your life...

Born: 1926-02-20 - Died: 2011-02-06
The first computer to run Unix was a PDP-7, and the
company that built it was Digital Equipment Corp.
(DEC), which was co-founded by Ken Olsen.
Thirty years later, Fortune magazine called him
"arguably the most successful entrepreneur in the
history of American business.“
Back in the '80s, DEC was one of the hottest technology companies around. As DEC's
longstanding president, Olsen built DEC into the country's number-two computer
company, before it was finally swallowed by Compaq, which was itself consumed by
Hewlett-Packard. DEC was a victim of the PC revolution that ultimately killed off the
company's lucrative PDP and Vax systems.
