Pretty spot on, but takes a little bit of liberty with actual history.<p><i>"Illinois, on the other hand, is where the flagship state university threatened to sue Marc Andreesen for using what he learned as a U of I undergrad to create the first commercially successful Web browser"</i><p>UIUC went after Andressen's Mosaic Communications because UIUC/NCSA claimed ownership of the name Mosaic. Mosaic Communications changed their name to Netscape. The legal action had nothing to do with Andressen trying to use his undergraduate education in the workplace.
