Sassenrath - Back to Personal Computing
Metadata
Highlights
- To me this is all about Personal Computing,
not Personal Enslaving. It is about being the masters of our
own computers, not the reverse. A decade ago
this was true, but we are not the masters any more. Is it
possible to reclaim that position? Or, has it been lost to
history like the Tucker Automobile? Everyone tells me that
the world of personal computing is now totally dominated by
a single system — one which I believe lacks not only a
consistent, efficient, reliable architecture, but an
intelligent vision of the future.
