Lessons from the Puzzle (Fitting the Pieces Together)
When I look back over my life, it seems as though one day I woke up and my life looked like a puzzle I had just opened and poured out of the box (My Sister helped me to see it this way). All the pieces were there, but they were a jumbled mess. Some were upside down and all I could see was the brown cardboard backing. Others were hidden under the other pieces. But, they were all there…

Jan. 1984: How critics reviewed the Mac – Apple 2.0 – Fortune Brainstorm Tech
It’s fun for me to look back at the past and remember just how far technology has come in a short amount of time. I remember when these computers came out. I also remember how silly I thought the mouse looked and wondered if it would ever catch on. At the time, I was working at a hospital changing out the 50 pound hard drives and printing reports on gigantic green-bar paper at night and going to technical school by day for my A.S. in Computer Data Processing. Ah, the good ol’ days.
