I'm not the one going around claiming how much better it was in day...when B.Gates S.Jobs were able to do things that now D.Brin and all new would be B.Gates's, can't because they've conspired to take away BASIC compilers from all new operating systems...And older Basic Interpreters from back in the day work more intuitively and new technology and newer BASIC interpreters have succumbed to techie disease making them unusable for people with perceptual blinders, or people too lazy to spend ten minutes figuring out how to use them, yadda, yadda, yadda... It's a "things were bettere ine ye olde golde' age" argument, plain and simple. Perhaps other people, like D.Brin, also have 'Handicaps at perception'? ----- "I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine.
