The CEO who rewrote the book on high tech

the job...and do it well...he's been so successful

two great growth companies (McCaw,
FedEx)...now he's created another...Netscape is
the de facto browser standard...its August 1995
IPO was the most successful ever...part of the
Marc (Andreessen), Bark, and (Jim) Clark
