Yeah - to think that Gordon Moore is worth many times what Michael Jordan and Oprah Winfrey are worth !

Do you remember when Robert Noyce died? There was almost no mention whatsoever in the news. Had he raped little boys or been a drug addict or some other type of pervert he would have made headlines. All he did was change the world forever. Not worthy of notice.

Paul,
RE:"Yeah - to think that Gordon Moore is worth many times what Michael Jordan and Oprah Winfrey are worth"

Back when I went to college...if you were a hard science major you were lucky to get a job paying much..often you had to stay in academics...
On the other hand, if you majored in something that directly specialized in extracting money from humans, you could get rich. Entertainment business "kind off" included.
I'm just glad to see people who contribute to actually "making something with their hands" rewarded.
This includes all the tech sectors.
