My first reaction upon hearing the name "Y Combinator" was dismay; oh god, the geeks are trying to be bankers now. I had a vision in my head of paul et al. blowing out their retirement, funding LispOSes and smalltalk-on-chip type projects.
P.S. RPG, PG and PG. Any other Lispers with "PG" initials out there besides Gabriel, Greenspun and Paul?
