Keeping Current in Technology

Keeping Current in Technology
Spring 2002

In 2002, Bill Gates generously offered every high principal in the US a free palm pilot.  This offer came with one stipulation:  we had to take a five day training course.  That was a big commitment even though the five days were spread out over three months.  But I grabbed the offer. On the last training day, the teacher had some good news and bad news.  

Good news: you get your palm pilot and certificate for completing the course.  

Bad news: a newer palm pilot comes out today.  “Some of your new skills are already obsolete”, she informs us.
