I knew he was a billionaire, but didn't know the source of his wealth.<BR/><BR/>Rob, yes, yes, yes. The enthusiasm you express for blogging now is much what happened to me when I first discovered the computer. I understood immediately that it means "power for the people". That's being emphatically demonstrated by the flood of political bloggers that are helping to keep the govt including Congress honest.<BR/><BR/>Of course "power for the people" requires the "people" to show enough initiative to make use of it. The bloggers I know are good examples of the kind of people who do.<BR/><BR/>Just getting back from our trip with very little chance to compute. Soon I can begin to catch up.Larry Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571190213288384302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009563.post-1158241952043289812006-09-14T09:52:00.000-04:002006-09-14T09:52:00.000-04:00Mark Shuttleworth is a smart guy.

Like so many others, I suddenly have a vehicle for my thoughts, so that they aren't merely rattling around in my head, but organized and expressed and going out into the world. The formerly imaginal becomes something concrete. And that is indeed a liberation of a very personal and spiritual nature.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10153450041392215150noreply@blogger.com
