"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"

Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.
You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice. Jim Butcher

    A friend of mine had one of the first Diamond Rio PMP300 players that were sold. I remember it used a single AA battery. So cool back in the day!
