My grandfather (Dr Richmond McIntosh) was a wise man who, unfortunately, kept most of his wisdom close to his chest - however, his grandson has a big mouth (no, surely not?) and is more than happy to share his grandfather's wisdom.
He said that it was often more useful to be creatively and constructively wrong than boringly right. As a fairly arrogant sort (pause for deep breath) I would like to characterise myself as rather like James Logie Baird, the quondam inventor of television, who got a wonderful idea badly wrong in such a way that the real inventor (an American nobody remembers - OK, OK, get me on that one) was able to invent a much more efficient system that avoided all the pitfalls so brilliantly mapped out by Logie Baird's load of rubbish. It's 11pm after a heavy, heavy day of teaching and installing Linucx systems, so you will all have to forgive my inchoate burblings. But, Ah dinnae scrieve some blaud o blether fae those sudron fowk tae laich at i thair unco unmensefuness. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson ____________________________________________________________ "Its time to do Philosophy and stop worrying about what dead men said."
