I found this book to be a great example of how the old loyal employer/employee relationships do not exist any longer. I liked that the author started out with nothing and created a part of history of Silicon Valley. Reading this brought back memories of how things were in Silicon Valley before the dotcom bust. There's a lot of great lessons and advice from a person who started from the ground up.

Delightfully humorous!!

I titled this biased because I am Tom Maher's son. I helped him with some of the computer work and read it along the way. My father has a unique perspective on the Silicon Valley having started in the early sixties and helped develop Seagate to legendary status with his manufacturing skills and management techniques. People who have worked for my father speak highly of his skill as a manager and as someone who involves his staff in the creation of product and productivity.

My father, also having been born and raised in Iowa, has a unique and entertaining way of delivering his message which I am sure you will enjoy if you read the book. Get a little history of the valley from one who helped shape it. [...].
