If our desire and persistence in working to have usable software for
"throw away" computers makes us nuts, we're in pretty good company.


I agree most emphatically!

The criterion for being judged "clever" these days is to have amassed a
large personal fortune, usually by ripping off other people.

Whereas people whose main activity (as a group anyway) is to work on and
refine something that is given away to anyone who wants it are almost
certifiably insane by the usual standards of the world.

    Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
