'Even though if you look back and see that our sales and profits grew by basically 50 percent a year for all those years, what I really remember is worrying all the time. If you ask about a specific year, I'd tell you, oh that was an awful year, we had to get Multiplan [a financial spreadsheet] out and establish it, or that was the terrible year we brought out a Microsoft mouse and it didn't sell so we had a warehouse full of them, or that was the miserable year we hired a guy to be president who didn't work out.'
