heh, $1.5B... Ill never forget a particular night in 1998 or 1997 smoking a cigarette at 1AM on the balcony at SC5 Intel... There was another employee smoking on the balcony with me, and he asked what I did there... "I test games on our new procs, what do you do?" He said "I am working on trying to figure out how to update our financial systems such that they can handle fields for values greater than a billion dollars." This was the first time I had ever even thought about companies making more than a billion bucks.
