Woz was the chip guy! He's the one that would work endless hours to
eliminate one more IC from designs, and put velcro on the lid of the case to
make getting in easy. Steve Jobs was the one who came up with the
torx-screw-secured Mac with the GUI and mouse on the side! STEVE JOBS IS
SATAN!

The reason I mention AIDS, cancer and tumors is because folks tend to
overlook that researchers working on these diseases (and a million other
worthy causes) LOSE WORK due to viruses. One of the victims of an outbreak a
few years ago was an adoption agency working with eastern European kids
(this would've been 1990 or so).
I agree COMPUTERS aren't that important, but the work done WITH computers
is! And a virus strikes at random, with no regard for the worthiness of the
work it destroys.

We also survived (some of us anyhow) before penecillin, plumbing and
antiseptic soap came along. But what a life...

I understand where you're coming from on these, just want you to understand
