John, OT... RE:"Not only did I get my MBA there, but both parents were products of the undergraduate program." The roots run deep. My Uncle went to Michigan on a football scholarship. OTOH, with a 54-51 game, there is hope for big ten "3 yards and a cloud of dust football" yet. Jim

Dear John: My son went and still goes to U OF F but living where I do, I still support Miami also. I thought the game was terrific. JDN

John, I have also been a UofM fan for a long time, having received my undergraduate and MBA from there. The Northwestern game was the most exciting game I have seen from them ever, even if the final result was not to my liking. Appreciate your insights on Intel over the years. Long time Intel holder.

Hi John, RedHerring and Doerr may not see eye to eye on Bluetooth for the year 2001. Not sure if he also meant post-2001 too, since the conference was only about the year 2001. edit: Doerr was probably against some of the Microsoft standards that competed directly with the startups he funded. Nonetheless, what caught my attention was, "none of our judges."
