    I wish every programmer would adopt this philosophy:

    “Jef Raskin is well known for his heretical belief that people are more important than computers and that computer systems should be designed to alleviate human frailties, rather than have the human succumb to the needs of the machine.”

    You don’t need to buy Jef Raskin’s specific prescriptions to make things better for people. You do need to have the right attitude.

      I certainly share his dislike of the mouse as a pointing device.

      Putting the personal back in computing. I couldn't agree more. We've managed to turn the PC into a mainframe like existance again.

      Everything is fabulous but nothing is fun.
