I count myself as one of millions of Americans whose life simply would not be the same without the libraries that supported my learning.
People always ask me if I could live in any other era what would it be and I tell them none! I feel so lucky to live in an age where technology has changed and continues to change and make life so much more exciting. It keeps everyone young and constantly learning new things.
And initially a lot of companies avoid trying to make a really radical new kind of title for a new system because that would involve learning a new machine and learning how to make the new title at the same time.
I wouldn't change anything. I think that it's important to let things happen and stay 'happened'. I think that's all part of the learning curve part of fate. I'm just glad that it happened.

I was not good in school. I could never read very fast or very well. I got tested for learning disabilities for dyslexia. Then I got put on Ritalin and Dexedrine. I took those starting in the eighth grade. As soon as they pumped that drug into me it would focus me right in.
