About

Although 42 is my favorite answer, I believe that "life, the universe, and everything" [The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe] is about the process. I believe that it is not about the purchase but the experience of use. I believe it is not about the terminal degree, but the formation of a habit of learning.
