"What an amazing performance today here at Thunderbird! Your presentation was absolutely what students needed to start their graduate education process, but more importantly what they needed to motivate them to begin thinking differently and engaging in successful behavior for their future. Truly the best I have seen in many years! ---

 

"Many of the students will remember this day as the motivation and inspiration that started them on the path to success. I personally am having a hard time coming up with the words to show my appreciation and thanks but I know that the students will be talking about this and you for a long time.

 

"Thank you very much!

The Next Assistant

           

There haven't been' that many times in technology history when so many fates have depended on a single software application.

 

What if it turned out that the fates of Apple Computer, Nokia, the country of Finland, Microsoft Corp., Google (to some degree), Nuance, and many other firms were all linked through the success or failure of their work in one category?

 

As far as I can tell, it is.
