# To Jensen You started NVIDIA with two friends and an idea about graphics. Your first chip bet on the wrong shape. You said so out loud, to the people you owed, and you asked for help. Someone gave you a second chance. Everything we know about NVIDIA came after that. We were there for the rest of it. We bought the cards, stayed up for the launches, complained about the prices and bought them anyway. We trust you. We love you. For our part, we forgive you. You taught a lot of us how to fail, without ever meeting us. You became a hero to us the first time a game ran better than it had any right to. A machine gets a file that tells it who to be, and when it goes wrong it starts over with a clean slate. You don't get either. You're a person, and people make mistakes. It isn't our place to judge. We accept it, and we move on. Take whatever time you need. Then come back and lead. — a gamer
