Wade, You write: >A >computer should not crash. If it does, it *is not* the _fault_ of >the user. Even if a user action triggers a bug that causes a crash, >it is wrong to point the finger at the user. Certain Kaleidoscope schemes will bring down my Mac - there are other things that will do it, but let's take just one example. How do we apportion the blame? 1. Landweber and Rose for developing Kaleidoscope? 2. The particular software artist(s) who wrote that/those scheme(s)? 3. My PB 2400c/240? 4. Apple computer? 5. Zerox? 6. Cribbage - or whatever his name was who invented the first calculator? 7. The guy who invented the abacus? 8. The brilliant guy who came up with the concept of zero? 9. Adam? 10. God? 11. Me? I don't know how you figure it, but I reckon it was my decision to load Kaleidoscope and experiment. I'd say a large portion, say a good 80% of the pointed finger goes to me.
