Just regular programmer-guys - went to average schools, have above-average skills probably, but seriously, nothing all that out of the ordinary. Worth >$10 Million each, before the age of 30. They just got in early. They don't really think they've been all that lucky - think they got the jobs based on their skills, and that what they/google do is pretty revolutionary, and worth the cash. Neither of them reached for the check when it came, either! :) Had dinner a few days ago with two Google multi-millionaires.

I do like the stereo of the MP3, too, and the unrelenting blog-blog-blog-blog-… encouragement. (I also identify with the ‘launch party, nicely dressed, what's the point, sausage fest’ thing. Fortunately I’m not that IT focused right now :-) . Thank you! I do like the stereo of the MP3, too, and the unrelenting blog-blog-blog-blog-… encouragement.
