"It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone."I didn't appreciate Steinbeck as much in high school, when I first studied his work, as I do now. Another sign of the inevitable creep of time, I suppose. And yet here I find myself slowly nodding in agreement: I'd rather have and lose than never have in the first place.

True, Carmi. What was new back hen is old now and often replaced by technologies that are foreign to many.
