I always find it frustrating when quotes are unattributed. Also, Stine's artwork is wonderful!<br /><br />Steve Jobs' speech certainly reminds us that suffering with clutter is a total waste of time!Cynthia Friedlobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678323220024869277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-64022294168699545842010-12-16T12:11:12.516-08:002010-12-16T12:11:12.516-08:00Jeri I loved the flowchart.
