Which I think is, I mean, so inspiring in so many different dimensions. Cause I mean, I think that like the, you know, the, the kind of people, the way people commonly think of park as, you know, Steve jobs kind of descends upon park and realizes that they're going to kind of fumble the future.

And the kind of the narrative is this kind of not giving credit where it's due, perhaps, to the Alto. And I kind of love this other narrative of this kind of park within park. This person is too renegade for the rest of park. Bob Taylor's like, what are you doing over here? This is not... This is not when I said pick anything that you want. This is not what I meant.

I didn't actually mean it literally. Oh, my God.

Right. So Bob Taylor is an enormous inspiration to me personally in terms of the way he got people to take on really hard problems, I think is really inspirational. And I can definitely understand the Bob Taylor perspective of this, of like, look, I mean, yeah, we're pretty crazy, but we're not that crazy.

But I, and I also just love this kind of the fact that Alvy Ray Smith really wanted to make sure that like your dad got the credit. He was due that this was, it was not about like stealing the work of someone else or, or, I mean, I just, I think it's really, and I mean, when I say like, I mean, that is just, it is a great Silicon Valley story in terms of a very inspiring story.

I mean, he's like, I'm not worried about, like, I'm not taking anything away from myself by sharing, by giving credit where it's due. Like, yeah, I've got total self-confidence, basically. I also feel like that there's something really about the fact that You know, there at the moment, right? Like, I know what the before times were like.

I know what the after, like, I was there when this was created. This is not, and I think one of the challenges that we've got in Silicon Valley, and maybe this has been true at different times in Silicon Valley's history. But this idea of – and you see people who have inherited wealth who pretend that they built it themselves.
