Diego,

I'm with you, I really like the quote and feel it reflects a kind of natural instinct I've had running through my work for a long time.

It also made me wonder about childhood experiences where I would look around and build things from whatever I could find; orange crates, abandoned ham radio equipment, duct tape, etc.

Is there inside us a natural idea gathering, prototype developer that gets discouraged over time and disappears?

Keep creating...ideas worth stealing,
Mike
