different today, how can people relate to this?
While there are still a few
people who know how to make a horseshoe at a blacksmiths there will be
nobody who knows how to run the early mainframes in 50 years, things are
Rubbish!. Are you seriously trying to tell me that these skills can't be
learnt? I would claim that anybody who _truely_ understood a modern
machine would have no problems on an older one. The fact that very few
people understand modern computers is the problem, not that the older
machines are so different.
