Back in the early years of mass-computerism you had to be a hobbyist/experimenter with good soldering skills to make computers do what you wanted them to do. Today they do it without your input and/or knowledge. Is that not scary? Were there prognosticators who predicted what would be now, 35-40 yrs. on? Vintage/classic computing were the safer years, maybe not as exciting! Maybe part of the answer is not to be connected but we would lose out on participating in this forum and so much more. Murray--
