Comment: Fantastic interview, with the point if you listen to people you get a faster horse. Not the automobile. https://youtu.be/oVYRYMgPgio?feature=shared
Transcript: The interview Ian Cutress did with Renee James was absolutely fantastic, I thought. I paid closer attention to the last 15 minutes than I did the first 15, but she is obviously incredibly intelligent and has a very strong grasp on the semiconductor industry, and I felt like I learned a lot through that interview. And one of the things that she said at the end that I personally like is, or Ian might have said it and she concurred very strongly, was regarding, well, if you listen to the customer all the time, what you end up with is a faster horse. You don't end up with an automobile. So that's how I feel, and I think that's very important, is people don't always know what they want, and I think that's the point. Thank you.
