I remember when Marc came to California in 1988. He got here just in time for the Loma Prieta quake. Two people died outside his office on Townsend. They had just been to visit Marc.There would be no tech industry South Of Market if Marc hadn't moved his small company here from Chicago in the late 80s. He was young then, he had a purpose, he was going to turn desktop computers into movie machines. He did that.
He was hugely influential, although time has a way of paving that over. Remember that, young people, you may be important now, but there will come a day when no one knows your name. Prepare for that day.
He got rich, very rich -- but he blew through the money like a drunk rock star with an entourage, which he had.
Marc is a wild man. California has captured his wildness for a long time. Now that wildness belongs to the rest of the USA.
Good luck man -- keep blogging so we know what's up with you.
