JWM I wouldn’t look down on anyone regardless of the invention. I know of a someone who came up with a “stupid idea” a few years back with putting a wheel on the bottom of shoe. He has done pretty well… Just because the idea doesn’t conform to your idea about “real” startups doesn’t mean it will not work. I met the guy who came up with the idea for putting a freeking plastic bag around newspapers… not much technology involved in that pursuit as well. He has done okay.
