You mean both Johns? (Carmack & Romero)

Well, I had Adrian Carmack and John Carmack in mind, but frankly I don't really recall who it was, just that there were two of them.

Wikipedia mentions that “by mid-1994 John Carmack had purchased two Ferrari Testarossas,” so it's possible he was both of the guys. But I'm sure others did well too.

He probably meant John and Adrian... both Carmacks and founders if ID

And intriguingly, those two Carmacks are not related!
