I'm just a lucky slob from Ohio who happened to be in the right place at the right time.
And I don't think that success can be measured by how many TV shows you're on.
Over the eons I've been a fan of, and sucker for, each latest automated system to 'simplify' and 'bring order to' my life. Very early on this led me to the beautiful-and-doomed Lotus Agenda for my DOS computers, and Actioneer for the early Palm.
