Hey, Wayne, thanks for the insight. I met you and Robby a month ago when I visited YC the day after demo night -- you guys had just settled on the name "Zenter." I'll admit my skepticism regarding the usefulness of current web-based productivity apps, yet all it took to convince me was your demo, especially the Google Images and "webcasting" features.

Very excited to see what the future holds for you guys!

Thanks sharing, Wayne. Every YC founder I've spoken to shared the same sentiments about the entire experience. You're right on about the startup path being a rollercoaster of emotions. There are days when I feel calm, collected, and focused, and there are days when I'm nervous and frazzled out of mind. But I always wake up pumped about what we're doing and that's a great feeling.

Paul Graham is ALWAYS right

Sounds like the start of a series of Chuck Norris style PG references

"Paul Graham makes people want something he's made."

Ugh. Gonna have to work on this.

I can't wait to see Zentor, as someone who worked on the next version of Keynote I admit I'm skeptical of online presentation apps but it seems like an exciting space to be in.
