I guess it's not uncommon for a company being
started up to include a
lawyer somewhere in there, whether they consult with one or have one
directly involved as a participant. OTOH, m$ is the only company I've
ever heard of that had _two_ lawyers in there right from the start.
If I was a dinky company that was about to sign a potentially very
lucrative deal with IBM, I think I'd have two lawyers as well.
Sure, but that's not the context I was talking about, which no doubt came
about somewhat later on, I'm talking about when they started the company in
the first place. Or at least that's my recollection, anyhow, which could
perhaps be at fault here. I did have several books that covered that time
period and some other stuff, but loaned them out to my brother after I read
them and haven't gotten them all back yet.
