there seems to be a difference between this generation of 'valley movers
and machers' and the last. The first generation was interested in making
companies, this generation seems to be interested in making money. Unless
Leonard learns how to say 'software developement' and soon, I suspect
that he's going to be spending a lot of time interviewing new programmers.

can you say 'software makes hardware hapeen' ? I knew you could.

P.S. please email flames to me, there's enough noise on the net as is, 
i'll post the 'best' of the flames.
