Computers are hierarchical. We have a desktop and hierarchical files which have to mean everything.

Telling computer guys that they need to have permission to quote things is like having to tell little children about Death.

If computers are the wave of the future, displays are the surfboards.

Right now you are a prisoner of each application you use. You have only the options that were given you by the developer of that application.

I am a design chauvinist. I believe that good design is magical and not to be lightly tinkered with. The difference between a great design and a lousy one is in the meshing of the thousand details that either fit or don't, and the spirit of the passionate intellect that has tied them together, or tried. That's why programming - or buying software - on the basis of "lists of features" is a doomed and misguided effort. The features can be thrown together, as in a garbage can, or carefully laid together and interwoven in elegant unification, as in APL, or the Forth language, or the game of chess.
