There's my education in computers, right there; this is the whole thing, everything I took out of a book.

The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

I don't like to get in front of people.
