First Impressions

One thing I noticed right away, when we arrived in Palo Alto, was a lot of banks who advertised themselves as some type of technology investor. This was something that the book "A History of Silicon Valley" referred to in chapter 14. In this chapter, the author describes how the supporting elements of Silicon Valley function, and by supporting elements he means the lawyers, investment bankers and such. I just thought it was interesting to see such a clear and obvious parallel to what I had read about.
