Were there ever any wink/nod moments where it seemed like the students understood the world was more complicated than they are taught to believe? Were your daily communications with the students monitored?

Blake interviewed me. His retelling is somewhat reflective of what really went down. His dialog attributed to me is made up, e.g.; I never had a dinner with Shinobu Toyoda and Tom Kalinske - I did have one with Shinobu-san and it was one of the more awkward and embarrassing moments of my career - I had decided to turn SEGA down (for reasons not mentioned in Console Wars) but Shinobu-san got on a plane and flew up to Seattle before word got to him - he thought he was signing me to SEGA over dinner and I had to let him know I had changed my mind - ack!

Have you seen the movie Awakenings, with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro?

I know status is more than age, but I'm just curious, what was your age and what was the estimated age of the man that made it happen?

You should totally watch that.

Edit: oops, as others have pointed out it ends on a sad note. I should rescind my recommendation. I was just remembering the happy and heartfelt scenes. I'm totally cringing. 😬
