"Real artists, ship" - Steve Jobs "The illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." -- **Alvin Toffler** "It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change" – **Charles Darwin** "The difference between unwilling and unable is meaningless when the outcome are the same, it's a lot more difficult to make a choice for yourself as opposed to make one offered to you on a plate." - Unk "I **started** golf in my forties, which is the ultimate optimism." Michael J. Fox (Esquire Dec '07)
