The Paul Truesdell Podcast

Welcome to the Paul Truesdell Podcast. Two Pauls in a pod. Featuring Paul the Elder and Paul the Younger. So, what's the gig? Individually or collectively, Paul and Paul sit down and chat predominately at the Truesdell Professional Building and record frequently. They explain a few things about how life works before time gets away. They connect the dots and plot the knots, spots, and ops with a heavy dose of knocks, mocks, pots, rocks, socks, and mops. Confused? Then welcome aboard! You see, Paul the Elder and Paul the Younger enjoy telling complex stories that are always based on business, economics, and forecasting while having fun, laughing, and being among like-minded men, women, and children from Earth, Pluto, Jupiter, and Neptune. Individually and jointly, Paul the Elder and Paul the Younger, coupled with Team Truesdell, have been there and done it. If you enjoy front porch philosophers who take deep dives and connect the dots, while drinking coffee during the day and a whiskey after five, welcome.

It is a true pleasure to have you onboard.

This is, The Paul Truesdell Podcast.

We are back, and the reason why we had taken a pause for more than a few weeks is that we wanted to adjust what it is we're doing so that, because of our schedules, which both went nuts, we can basically do the podcast in a variety of different locations. People to do it basically anymore. I had a gentleman in the office the other day, and he had a remarkable tablet, I believe. Have you done any research on those things? I don't even know what you're talking about. Remarkable is where it's only writing. It is like E paper, and it's really ultra thin, and it's not connected to the internet in any way, shape or form. It's not like an iPad. Interesting,

Unknown Speaker  0:51  
yeah, I may have heard about that fairly recently. It's the name. Sounds familiar, but yeah, is it E Ink only? It's E Ink only, yeah, okay, yeah, I think I saw something. It's actually really clever for me. It will never replace an iPad, but what I was looking at it is that it's really ultra crazy thin and his leather notebook and how he was taking notes. And I asked him a little bit about it. He said he liked it more than the iPad, because he's in business and he's always making notes, and if he needs to grab anything off the internet, he just grabs his phone real quick and looks at it. Yeah, that makes sense. I can I can see using a tablet, a regular like iPad, and the same time. That's my point. It's funny, because I'm sitting there with my iPad and my legal pad, sure, and he's were sitting there with his

I think it was remarkable. It could have been some another brand, because there's several of there. But do you remember when you know it's gonna be several decades now, when you were when I started talking about E paper, and it was the death of newspapers? Yeah, yeah, I do. And what I didn't understand then, which I still think, is it's a viable product. We were down, I think your mother and I were down in Nevis. So this would've been about 1995 I think it's 95 sounds about right. And back then, you know, they didn't have internet, like they have a day and all that. We used to get a, we were on vacation for like, two or three weeks down there, and they had a they got a fax machine. They had a fax machine, and they would photocopy headline news from the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, and it was just kind of a, yeah, you know something, people today wouldn't have an appreciation. No, of course not. And I

Unknown Speaker  2:45  
say the word VCI or CDs, people, even people today, don't even know what a CD is. Anyhow,

Unknown Speaker  2:54  
I always thought that you would have like a newspaper where you could actually turn the paper and that the print would be there and you would recharge it. Yeah, a
