Jensen Huang

And so, so anyhow, I was incredibly grateful.

Um,

And then now we had to figure out what to do because we still were doing the wrong strategy, wrong technology.

So unfortunately, we had to lay off most of the company.

We shrunk the company all back.

All the people working on the game console, we had to shrink it all back.

And then somebody told me that, but Jensen, we've never built it this way before.

We've never built it the right way before.

We've only know how to build it the wrong way.

And so nobody in the company knew how to build this super computing image generator, 3D graphics thing that Silicon Graphics did.

And so I said, okay, how hard can it be?

You got all these 30 companies, 50 companies doing it, how hard can it be?

And so luckily,

there was a textbook written by the company, Silicon Graphics.

And so I went down to the store.

I had 200 bucks in my pocket and I bought three textbooks.

The only three they had, $60 a piece.

I bought the three textbooks.

I brought it back and I gave one to each one of the architects.

And I said, read that and let's go save the company.
