I was making sure that I had everything they wanted in the computer and a cheap price for them. Then I noticed my company wasn’t making as much money as I thought, I change my priority in quarter four. In quarter four, I made more computers and but Traveler priority number two.

pioneer in the animation field. He brought technological advancements to the mainstream mainly because he allocated time and effort to augment his films, rather than spew out film after film. This practice led to the success of his full features, Silly Symphonies, and Mickey Mouse shorts. However, as his ambitions grew, so did financial woes and his ego.
