I hate users that don't know what they're doing and fear governments that figure out they can use computers to spy on and/or control us.<br>
<br>
Then again if it weren't for the former I'd not have had the career I've had. :-)<br>

* Computers are just fancy TV sets.<br>
* The internet is corroding my privileged position as a Prize Pundit<br>
* I can't learn anything new 'cause I'm Sad and Old<br>
* You kids get off my lawn.<br>
<br>
I sincerely hope that as my generation retires and dies off, the next one will become more sensible about this stuff. Just maybe, they could change their world for the better.<br>
