:-) Interesting metaphor. I wonder, though, what place Linux has in this theology. Though given it was written in 1994, it would not have been on many people's horizon. I prefer, for both a more fully realised metaphor as well as historical detail, Neal Stephenson's 1999 essay _In the Beginning was the Command Line_ [1] Udhay [1] http://digeratus.com/beginning.html -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
