Heidi Roizen appeared on a 1987 “Computer Chronicles” to demonstrate “WriteNow,” a Macintosh word processor. Roizen’s T/Maker Company licensed the marketing rights to “WriteNow” from Steve Jobs’ NeXT Computer, Inc. (NeXT acquired the original developer.)

After a long day, the kitchen can be a perfect place to find inspiration. Set aside a few moments to write—the dishes can wait until you've jotted something down, even if it's just a paragraph or two!

An anthropomorphized blue puma typing on a laptop in a dimly lit kitchen. The text reads: How do you Puma at home? After a long day, the kitchen can be a perfect place to find inspiration!

Sometimes when I have time in the evening, I write quick drafts using WriteNow on my iMac G3. I really love the clarity of the crt and the simplicity of MacOS 9.

It is distraction-free and help to relax. Sharing some of the photos I took week agos !

Yes, we do indeed need to protect the real data centres!

So, keep #reading - especially if you want to keep *thinking* (for YOURSELF!) 💯 💯 💯

I love writing a book with no clear idea if where it's going; it's like I'm getting to read a new favourite book.
At the same time, though, it's terrifying that I don't know if the book will work or be any good...

This is what I call writing!
