Notes:

Jack Machinack introduced me to computers as a part of the North Shore Junior Science Museum on Long Island. I got rapture of the bits at that time, and wanted to be a computer engineer ever since then. I'm still learning out to be one, and I've never lost my passion for learning about how to use computers.

Later in life I realized how much those ten Saturdays with Jack affected my life, and I am now driven to give back to society, just like Jack did.

I learned a lot from many of the people I worked year over the first 16 years of my career. I'm deeply indebted to the following people for teaching me about life, business, and computers: Jim Madden, David Cheriton, Roger Sumner, Jon Bondy, Tom Lyon, Richard Olsen, Ion Yadigaroglu, Andrew Schofield, Pete Bonham, and Paul Moeller. I would not have been able to follow my passion or even understand it without their collective wisdom.
