The best things that capture your imagination are ones you hadn't thought of before and that aren't talked about in the news all the time.

I have always respected education, which is why I actually went back secretly and taught school for eight years.

I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.

It's can you, Steve Wozniak, design the same computer - maybe it's a Varian 620i - can you design it on paper with fewer chips than last month? Can you design it with 79 chips instead of 80 chips? I had played this game so long that I had all these little tricks in my head that I can't even explain... Nothing was wasted; absolutely zero waste. I told this story recently to the Resource Recovery Association, recycling, and they loved to hear I didn't believe in waste.

I'm also a fan with sticking with the most standard software that millions of other users also use, because you get the benefit of all those other users' problems and solutions.

I sold my most valuable possession, but I knew that because I worked at Hewlett Packard, I could buy the next model calculator the very next month for a lower price than I sold the older one for!

I read Google News and use NetNewsWire to keep up with general and tech news.
