Amen. Amen.

I'd love to hear more about your past adventures. What were the large companies and the failed/tiny ones?

Well Cygnus was pretty big and pioneered the free software business model, forking, and a whole bunch of things like that. TLGnet was one of the very first ISPs.

I also did an enterprise DB company, Zembu, that pretty much sank without a trace (the tech ended up in DB2). I made a drug at Talima that is still in trials so who knows? Terrajoule.... well the jury is out.

And castAR I plan will be huge!

You can see some background by looking me up on Linkedin: D. Henkel-Wallace. I should resurrect my Wikipedia page.
