Joseph,>>>Because this is what's all about, as far as I am concerned, dear Mary: entrepreneurial optimism and a brilliant mind. <<< Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to take anything away from Andy Grove's achievements. What he achieved speaks for itself - I couldn't begin to do him justice with my thoughts and opinions. However, using a sports metaphor, sometimes a great athlete is great despite the fact that he didn't have a complete package. Sometimes the athlete could be great on offense, but lacking on defense - or the athlete could be very athletic but lacking some fundamental skills. And sometimes those skills and accomplishments are not enough for lasting recognition as some crafty and influential journalist could try to diminish the athletes accomplishments through influencing public opinion and try to minimize those skills for some totally non related and devious reason. As they say in this great country of ours, Sh*t Happens. And you've got to deal with it. Regards, Mary
