Ken,
Thanks for your wishes. I do see your point how these companies were different then. I have printed out your learnings and put it in the wall in my home-office to act as a mindset more so then a ‘list of items’. These are all good points, and it will be important as we grow. The engineers in management is a great point. Being in Chicago, you do not see that much, but it is a very important aspect of running a technology company.
