No mention of Netscape fame in the bio. But

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreessen does confirm he is the man.


I have to wonder if there is anyone in that committee with the corporate
connections and weight to attract a serious CEO.  One problem when the
Compaq board fired Pfeiffer is that they did not have any serious
corporate types in the selection committee and failed to attract anyone.


Someone should tell Andreesen that his baby: Mosaic still runs on VMS
(an HP product) and still is supported !
