Marc Andreessen, one of Silicon Valley's star venture capitalists, told a San Francisco audience that The New York Times should go 100% digital "as soon as possible."

A Reuters report published in siliconvalley.com quoted the Netscape founder that the Good Grey Lady should go all in with digital's brave new world.

 'It's not that you can't make money in print newspapers,' he said. It's not that there aren't people who love them.' But successfully dealing with transformative technology requires going 'on 100 percent offense,' he said.

The irony of his remark is that it was given at a New York Times Dealbook event.
