I truly agree.

Back in 1980.
When was learning software development, I was the schools star student. Well, one day a reporter showed up, and ask me a question; "What do you think of these personal computers (PC)?" My reply was "Nothing good will ever come from this!" Too this day it has done nothing to prove to me that that statement was false. For example, we still waste just as much paper, if not more.

After 33 years, I am possible seeking a new line of work. Prehaps basket weaving. :-)
