"I feel like Sabeer Bhatia of Hotmail (excepts I can't program)"

Is it just me that finds this quite funny. I feel like David Beckham (except I can't play football).

I think his sentence was reasonable - like Sabeer, he feels he has a great idea and is willing to quit school (Apple for Sabeer) and work on it night and day.

ps to the OP: don't quit school. You might have the best idea in the world, but if it doesn't work (and there are many reasons that are not under your control for this to happen), it may be hard for you to return to school... School is generally lame, but it is the 'gateway drug' to better experiences in University.
