I wish I'd asked my question on computers in education. Woz must have a great point of view about the subject.
He talked about how educational software could be made better, but as the poster above points out, the teachers need to be able to use it effectively.
A great deal of teachers I know are technophobes. They work exhausting hours and have no time (and little incentive) to learn how to use computers. I'd love to hear what role Woz thinks computers should really play in education.
I almost fell for your flaimbait movie review, until I realized what you were up to.
Andy Kaufman's comedy was in pushing people's buttons. With your ridiculous rambling about Jim Carrey, you have paid perfect tribute to a man we barely knew until it was too late.Great job!
Nothing compares to the power of CW. It's power is its simplicity.
With no other means of communication can your voice travel so far using so little.
If the world's computers had crashed around us at Y2K, you can bet that those magical dots and dashes would still be singing.
While I hope that loosening the CW requirement will bring more people into this wonderful hobby, I hope that these newcomers will take the time to master CW anyway.
I remember hearing a story about ten years ago about SC ALE (alcohol law enforcement) agents were staking out hotels just across the NC border in Charlotte, looking for folks loading up on cases of wine to bring back to SC (for their own personal consumption, I presume).
Dunno if anyone got arrested but it would've been poetic justice.
The state wine/liquor distribution racket is a topic for another day, though...

Dear Woz, Computers keep getting faster, but they aren't getting any more interesting. What do you think it will take to make them fun again?
