Their conviction results | | from something deeper than mere | | gratitude for the computer's | | conveniences. Every new medium of | | writing brings about new intensities of | | religious belief and new schisms among | | believers. In the 16th century the | | printed book helped make possible the | | split between Catholics and | | Protestants. In the 20th century this | | history of tragedy and triumph is | | repeating itself as a farce. Those who | | worship the Apple computer and those | | who put their faith in the IBM PC are | | equally convinced that the other camp | | is damned or deluded. Each cult holds | | in contempt the rituals and the laws of | | the other. Each thinks that it is | | itself the one hope for salvation. | | | | -- Edward Mendelson, "The New | \ Republic", February 22, 1988 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
