The college camp rules in most tech clusters. Just reading an old VB classic site in which they linked to a “DUDE” fest extolling the tuff life of microsoft and their decisions for tools for, well, “toools”. It is a variant of the new v. old. The old story, not a meaningful one, but a recurring one. I suppose that it, the story, has meaning since it repeats. It is a never ending , yet not open ended sequence. At times it appears as though the apple thought it had planted the tree. Of course microsoft has to issue new pencils and paper. Every new group of kids wants to make their drawing for the fridge. Too bad it’s only another yellow sun over outline house. Oh, don’t forget the wagging dog.
