Fact is, Marc Andreesen did some good stuff at Univ. of Illinois, got sucked into the Valley courtesy of Clark, and out popped a billionaire (Clark) and a mega millionaire (Andreesen).

He took credit for work done mostly by others and somehow became a technical wunderkind. Everything he has done has failed. Marc Andreesen is a joke.

When the stock reached $170-odd at its peak, I don't believe the acquisition price reflected that later. A friend of mine had a friend who joined Netscape on the $170 day--their vesting price. D'oh. (Oddly, I can't find stock performance on any of the stock sites--they apparently can store indefinite information about trading stock, but not delisted or sold stocks.)

I sincerely hope it won't be just another Loudcloud.
