In 1988-1989, when I was still just 18-19, I worked for Nolan Bushnell. After making a small fortune mostly with Atari, he and his wife Nancy bought the James Folger mansion in Woodside as a fixer upper.
He liked entertaining clients (and allowed working stiffs like me to tag along) at his pool house and pointing out that down the hill through the trees was the top of Steve Jobs's flag pole.
Those were some good times.
