they actually invited me to a barbecue at their new house in mountain view
a couple weeks ago.  I went to it.  I heard about this new company of
theirs there... Linus was there, too, so I got to speak with him about NFS
and RMS :)  Anyway, apparently Iris and the kids live in China most of the
time, and the kids go to school there.  They must have a lot of money,
though, cuz their mountain view house is several million bucks, they're
sending the kids to the private 'international' school in China.. they
still have the apartment in Tokyo even, but they don't use it.. hmph.
