"some Sun guy" being founder Andy Bechtolsheim, who was already a hundred-millionaire at the time.
- maxxxxx 10y agoI wonder how big his share of the company was. I suppose he didn't do it out of sheer goodness.
- cpr 10y agoOf Google? Apparently enough to make O($billion). (I knew Andy back when he was a grad student designing SUN-1 (Stanford University Network) boards, pre-Sun, etc., when we were sharing his design for the Imagen image processor (TeX project spin-off.) An extraordinary fellow even back then.)
- maxxxxx 10y agoYes, of Google. Let's say you have the super bright idea and somebody like him gives you 100k what percentage does he want?
