Well... it may seem like I’m cappin’ on em, but the brothers were geniuses. Their dad may have given them a leg up on most of us, but so what.

And, they made a killing for many years. They may have lost to Amazon, but so have countless others.
John’s done a great service to kids with his math institute. If you have a youngster in elementary that loves and excels in math, look into it.
I also understand that John’s done a lot to preserve some of Silicon Valley’s early history in the form of equipment. I know some of it is on display at the Sunnyvale store, but I’ve heard he has quite a bit more.
