 everybody. That would be self-defeating anyway. You have to trust — do a lot of 

 trusting. Some people let you down. If I knew then what I know now about 

 some of those people. Some of them who are self-effacing and didn't toot their 

 horn or didn't alibi, some of those suffered at my hands, but time has vindicated 

 most of them. Anyway, they'd have come ahead a Httle faster, I think, if I knew 

 then what I know today about some of them. That's what I'd have done 

 differently. The other things, the technical decisions, who knows whether 

 they'd have been better or worse. You'll never find out whether they'd have 

 been better decisions. You can identify decisions that were wrong. If you cannot 

 identify the replacement decisions at those times, almost anything else would be 

 wrong.
