Years ago Thomas Watson Jr. told me (no jokes, I was a 25 year old kid), "The people out West are a bunch of traitors". He was speaking about IBM San Jose and Tucson. Of course being from IBM San Jose and sitting in Armonk with the Emeritus Chairman, I was stunned. I asked him why he would make such a statement he said "They are a disloyal bunch of bastards", referring to executives that left IBM to start their own companies like the late Al Shugart who was a friend of mine.
Well, I reject this ridiculous assertion because I believe that people should act in their own rational self interest. Hell, that’s why I left IBM when Larry asked me to build him a storage company. I talked about my motivation in my very first blog post, so I won’t expound here. But I recount the Watson story because it illustrates that the entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley was an anathema to old IBMers, and some of that still exists today.
