Correct. I had a local friend (now deceased) who was Perot's classmate at the Naval Academy and he shared a few "interesting" stories from academy days. After the Navy Perot worked for IBM before starting EDS that eventually made him a boat load of money. And yes, GM invested heavily in EDS in the mid-eighties.
