He had been on some rockclimbing magazines of the young prodigy and all he did in class was think about rockclimbing and one day he went hiking in Mount Washington New Hampshire with his friend in the ice climbed and they got the top of the mountain, the wind shifted and they were in the middle of a blizzard and they went down the runway. They descended into the wilderness. They wandered and they got lost and they almost died and they were rescued on the brink of death and he had severe frostbite in both his legs were imitated below the knee.

Good morning to you both on ces, so many of these names are presenting this week, are having workshops for developers, and unveiling ostensibly technologies that are going to drive earnings higher. How much of a catalyst is ces this week . Theres always something that becomes the theme of the show, but it doesnt always necessarily translate into a lot of revenue and Earnings Growth we talked about Artificial Intelligence and the goggles that people were wearing a couple of years ago for virtual reality, excuse me, and didnt really materialize in anything that significant for these companies.
