How to prosper in a downturn

"If you think of some of the great companies that emerged in recent years like Apple and Microsoft... when did they emerge?  It was in the economic downturn of the 1970's".  Mike Harris, Founder, Egg Plc

"It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose your own." Harry S. Truman
