"Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people." I really like this quote. I discovered Gutenberg looking for something to read on the train pre-ebooks days. I really got sick of having to take books so I wanted a way to get books onto my PalmIII. [0] Searching around for anything in text format I stumbled onto Gutenberg. How do you get the text into the palm in a readable format? Using open source software like Plkr. [1] If you ran Linux the morning routine would go something like this: * sync PC with Palm ~ http://flic.kr/p/mhmuK http://flic.kr/p/mhmuK * manually select Gutenburg novels to read & add to plkr. * plkr client would crawl various web sites I read, compress the pages & sync with the pilot. * read on the train. I'd make this morning/evening habit. I benefited from Harts vision for many years. "My father read an assortment of these made available to him by Cambridge University in England for several months in a glass room constructed for the purpose. To the best of my knowledge he read ALL those available. . .in great detail. . .and determined from the various changes, that Shakespeare most likely did not write in nearly as many of a variety of errors we credit him for, even though he was in/famous for signing his name with several different spellings." [2] Hart was certainly well read. You can open random classics like Macbeth & find his comments like this one in the forward of Macbeth.
