When Sam Peralta was at our table passing around "the chip", it ended up being accidentally dropped into Silicon Extinction's beer. It was very funny and Sam was not the least bit concerned. It was simply a prop that he could hold up as a reference to the earlier days of POET. Sam's enthusiasm for POET is palpable. PALPABLE! He expressed (paraphrasing) that it's a bit difficult navigating around what he CAN say and what he CAN'T say about POET.
The whole experience of the THM and the after party was very exciting. Ajit was relaxed and charming and Suresh was ALL business (though still charming as well).
Big thanks to FJ for his involvement.
