Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] predicting the future

Michael,

Some would also say that is wisdom, or at least life experiences stepping in.

The idea is to come up with all of these wonderful ideas when you are
young and energetic, but save them for when you are older and then get
a bunch of young energenic guys to make it happen.

Being innovative does not have to end at 30. In fact, if you are still
exercising that muscle you will be in better positions to make those
dreams come true after 30, or at least you should be.

I find the biggest obstacle to a lot of my ideas is the minutia.
