For one of my MSEE classes at Stanford, I took a business for engineers class taught by a local successful and retired software entrepreneur. I forgot his name. He was paralyzed in one arm b/c of a plane crash when piloting one of his own planes if that rings any bells to anyone. (Guess he was a better businessman than pilot! :) )<p>Anyway, he would always give case examples from his own experience, and his eyes would light up, making it obvious that this was happiest time in his life. His teaching this class was his attempt to relive his glory days. He never had a family (and was actually ousted from the company so had nothing there), and in a strange way, I think this class was his attempt to have one.<p>I don't know much about pg, but his viagen references remind me a little bit of this guy. We're all trying to have a legacy of some sort. I believe, though, that of the possible investments one can make with one's time, family is the best and longest lasting one. Keep that in mind, young-uns!<p><p>
