I Fear - As Far

In Success There's A Tendency To Keep On Doing What You Were Doing.

An Important Technology First Creates A Problem And Then Solves It.

Perl Is Another Example Of Filling A Tiny, Short-term Need, And Then Being A Real Problem In The Longer Term.

The Idea That Hardware On Networks Should Just Be Caches For Movable Process Descriptions And The Processes Themselves Goes Back Quite A Ways. There's A Real Sense In Which Ms And Apple Never Understood Networking Or Operating Systems (or What Objects Really Are), And When They Decided To Beef Up Their Oss, They Went To (different) Very Old Bad Mainframe Models Of Os Design To Try To Adapt To Personal Computers.
