That's not alright. That's not alright. And I think that also, I mean, one thing that I've kind of come to accept is that, and I think something that's important to express, is that there are many different Silicon Valleys. And there's a tapestry of Silicon Valley, and there are many different threads through it. We contain multitudes, Brian. We do contain multitudes.

I think for people who haven't been out to the literal Silicon Valley, if you are out in the Santa Clara Valley, it's barely a valley. A valley is not the term that's going to come to mind. You'd be like, okay, I see there is a mountain range over there, and I guess there is technically another mountain range that I can see way over there. Is this the valley that people are talking about?

It's like, yes, this is this kind of this, this floodplain, it's the Bay area, but the Silicon Valley as metaphor. And, you know, I've often spoken of kind of my Silicon Valley or out of our Silicon Valley, which is, you know, the Silicon Valley of the traders eight or of Xerox park or Randy of the counterculture.

And I, you know, there is, there is no one, I think that is, I think has got a better perspective on this, or you've got a unique perspective on, on this whole thing in many different kind of dimensions. So can we get into your life story for a little bit? Do you mind if we... I don't mind at all.

Yeah. I think, well, because in particular, so you come out, you're not actually born here. You're born, I guess, in Pittsburgh when your parents are at what we now call CMU, but was then, I guess, Carnegie Tech. Is that right? Yeah.

Yep. And you, but you come out as your father is, is he coming out to work for Berkeley Computer Company? Is that, do I have that?

Computer science in 1970? That is a very early computer science department.

We're elaborating a little bit on who Gordon Bell was. I think Gordon Bell has passed away. Right. That was. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. But describe Gordon Bell a little bit because, yeah, Gordon Bell just passed away last year, May of 2024. But so a pioneer of computing, for sure. And just kind of amazing to think of. I mean, the discipline is still so young, you know, in so many regards that you have. So he goes to work for and then picks up his family and moves to the West Coast to go to Berkeley Computer Company.
