That's really good. I think he nailed it.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

HAL 9000, 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7-940; Windows 7 - 64, 6GB DDR3 RAM; Three 1TB hard drives (internal); Radeon 4670, 512MB graphics card; blah...blah...blah...

A correction: it was NOT Thoreau who said "the unexamined life is not worth living." It was Plato's Socrates, before he drank the hemlock. Thoreau's most famous quote is probably "most men live lives of quiet desperation."
