+The Crazy Ones
+October 14, 1998
+
+   Heres to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
+       The round pegs in the square holes.
+   The ones who see things differently. Theyre not fond of rules. And
+       they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them,
+       disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
+   About the only thing you cant do is ignore them. Because they change
+       things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They
+       create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
+   Maybe they have to be crazy.
+   How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or
+       sit in silence and hear a song thats never been written? Or gaze at
+       a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
+   We make tools for these kinds of people.
+   While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the
+       people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
+       are the ones who do.
