I'll cite another example of a great company owned and managed by an 
engineer -- Dolby Labs. That fact made them extend development projects 
"for as long as it took," often for many years, far beyond the time most 
Harvard Business School types would have cancelled them. One of those 
projects was Dolby surround for cinema and home systems.

About ten years ago, I heard Ray Dolby give an invited lecture to the 
AES, and his talk was about the history of the management of that 
company. It is a manifesto for technical companies being managed by 
people who understand the technologies involved, and the market for 
them. Eric and Wayne epitomize that philosophy! They probably won't die 
as rich as Ray Dolby did, but I'm sure they'll die equally happy!
