I look at the world and it makes more sense now. At 41, my generation is in power. We're the incumbents. We run the show. For many years we've talked about information appliances, making computers as easy to use as toasters.
Toasters are nice things to have, but they are trivial.
I like to make toast. It's nice, even fun sometimes. But I write at my computer. I do a lot of my thinking and creating here. Simplicity implies that everyone has the same needs.
