(no, that wasn't me) ; Huh. AFAIK, LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) was discovered in Switzerland by Albert Hoffman, whilst working for the Sandoz Chemical (a large pharmaceutical that has now merged with Ciba-Geigy to form Novartis). Tim Leary, the main US advocated for LSD taking in the '60s is from Harvard. And the Beatles, who sang Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD, get it) are from Liverpool, England. While Berkeley was the centre of the Flower Power movement in the '60s, and a lot of LSD was taken there, so were a lot of other psychotropic substances (cannabis, heroin, quaaludes, etc). So it would be historically inaacurate to say that LSD came from Berkeley... unlike BSD, which did. Ya! But isn't it that the beat(e.g. kerouac, burroughs, dylan thomas etc.) inspired flower people gave the world the likes of Thompson Richie ( craetor of Unix) and later Kerniggan teaming up with with Ritchie wrote C. You may also include Bill Gates, Ellison and java creator Gosling to this flower people who changed the world. Eventually ATT gave a copy of its kernel to UC Berkeley that later on came out with the freeBSD. Wellwho knows what keeping us all busy is just a product of psychedellic trips of these great guys, Kernigan, Ritchie Thompson. Later, they inspired Linus Torvalds to write something that duplicate UNIX eventually the Linux we are using. For Gates, well ppl love to throw pies on his face and for Ellison he may end crashing with his MIG.

No trend... Some got rich and famous at the same time... Adding to the list... 1) Bill Joy (Creator of C shell, PhD Berkeley now VP at Sun) 2) Bjarn Stroustrup (Inventor of C++ PhD Cambridge at ATT) 3) Bhatia (Creator of Hotmail MSCS Stanford got $400M from Microsoft) 4) Jerry Yang (Creator of Yahoo! MSCS Stanford, no need to ask for his net worth) 5) I know Google was from two MSCS students of Stanford 6) Andrew Tridgell (Creator of Samba, my fellow PhD student here at the Australian National Univ. now with linuxcare.com.au. Though not rich yet, he gets FREE PIZZA everyday) -rowel For Gates, well ppl love to throw pies on his face and for Ellison he may end crashing with his MIG.
