For ten years, it was part of his business, Flying Blind, LLC, but for the last two years or so, Larry has paid the costs for Tidbits out of his pocket, because he knows people appreciate the publication. As you've read, we're working on a new and sustainable way to keep Tidbits going, but it's safe to say that without Larry, there wouldn't be a Tidbits to read today. 14) Freedom Scientific on Eyes on Success Episode #2022 is an interview about Freedom Scientific offerings in the present and future: http://bit.ly/2p6t5h5 Top Tech Tidbits Sponsor Classified Ads: Sponsor #1: Dean Martineau Editor, Top Tech Tidbits for Thursday Email Newsletter Website: https://www.toptechtidbits.com/ About: Dean Martineau is the Founder and Editor of the Top Tech Tidbits for Thursday Email Newsletter. ➜ This Week's Classified Ad: The Top Tech Tidbits for Thursday Email Newsletter is your #1 online resource for current news and trends in adaptive technology. https://www.toptechtidbits.com/ Sponsor #2: Donna J.
