“Um ein Programm jedoch optimal einsetzen zu können, ist die Kenntnis seiner Leistungsfähigkeit nötig und auch die Routine im Umgang. Das bedeutet in der Praxis, daß man Stunden am Computer verbringt, die vielleicht besser draußen in der Natur mit dem Camcorder genutzt wären.”

To me, what I love about the draft is; first, you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they've worked so hard for. That's a pretty cool thing. You saw the emotion from some of these guys the other day. And then, the second thing is this total sense of hope and optimism. And, I think that's great for everybody.

Hope trusts in the promises of God. Hope seeks the action of God that brings forth a new reality. Optimism stands in the current reality, wishing to make the best of each individual experience. But hope stands knee deep in the history of this reality by yearning for the action of God to bring forth a new reality in which everything in this reality is reconciled and redeemed.

“There are several factors weighing on the dollar, among them the weak retail sales data and the feeling that Alan Greenspan was backtracking from his recent optimism on the U.S. economy.

“There is still a great deal of optimization of the design that needs to be done.

“I was with a longtime coach, I wound up moving with him to Florida, ... The training conditions weren't optimal down there. I had some friends here in Texas and pretty much it was a last-minute thing. I just felt that's what I had to do. I just had to put all my eggs in one basket.”

“Backups simply are not good enough to meet archiving requirements. People assume that part of [archiving] is putting data on tape, so backup technology must be good for that. But it's not. Backup is optimized for something different... They have not created a manageable environment for getting to data if they don't have advanced media management and if it's not organized to be viewed and managed across a long period of time.”

“The students have learned a lot. First, learning about the level of devastation. What we saw on TV does not reflect what the reality is here and hearing the personal stories of people and how they have been affected by the hurricane. It's been really moving and educational. At the same time, the sense of optimism and hope that the people of Mississippi have has been amazing.”
