Garbage Island twice the size of Texas
Located in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii and measuring in at roughly twice the size of Texas, this elusive mass is home to hundreds of species of marine life and is constantly expanding.

A: ... hmmm ... LEAVE ME ALONE... Let me live my life!
Sounds Familiar? ;-)
We don't know what we REALLY want! And, we don't think about the limitless possibilities we have. Happiness is easy to have, just a nice bottle of wine along with a delicious food will make most everyone happy for a while ;-)
The 4-Hour Workweek

Internet Potential (from 1994)
Richard Seltzer and Berthold Langer created this video in February 1994, working at DEC (now part of HP). NCSA (creators of Mosaic, the first Web browsers) and dozens of other organizations, distributed thousands of copies of this video, using it to help spread the word about the business potential of the Web, which, at that time, many business people found difficult to imagine.
