You missed the point of what I said. For me, the whole value of people
being exposed to personal computers was the chance that it would change
the way they think. I was hoping for a situation in which everyone
would need to become a programmer, so that eventually every issue,
every decision, in everyday life might be approached from a programmer's
viewpoint. It would be wonderful to live in a world where everyone
viewed life in terms of loops and recursion and if-then-else clauses
and flow charts...

Would you marry woman like that ? If yes, good luck.

Did you ever watch the "Cheers" or "Frasier" television shows? Remember
Dr. Lilith Sternin? I think someone like her would make an excellent wife
(although Lilith did get a bit overly emotional on rare occasions).
