20+ years ago, when Marc was only famous for Mosaic and Netscape, not being VC, in the Materials Research Lab at UIUC, there was a form, hand-filled in by Marc, with his picture taped on, from when he started working at MRL, or maybe at NCSA as a student. It was on a bulletin board in a glass display case in the hall where department announcements would go, or recent research papers.

The form had various entries like "favorite food" that are common when you join a team.

The only answer I remember was that under "favorite saying", he answered: "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy". It stuck with me.

Everytime I see or hear about him, I remember that. Doubly so when I see this article.

I've always wondered if that's still there, hanging in that display case.
