For the fortieth time in my life I had the pleasure of sitting down at
another wonderful IBM PC.  This one had a mouse and color and everything!
Oh boy what fun...  I just wanted to say that anybody who thinks that
the IBM pc is anything but a suped-up apple II is out of their minds.
It is an example of the kind of stupidity that Mayor Koch has been
accused of presiding over.  There is nothing in the slightest bit
natural about using a PC.  There is nothing logical about it either.
Every system is different.  No system is failsafe.  I have never 
been so pissed off as when I sit down on one of these pieces of junk
to look at a new program, an expensive program, the best out, and find
that it has as much charisma and agility as a dead rat.  YOU PEOPLE 
just don't understand the power of freedom.  You are the victims of
cybercrud.  You may be intelligent but you are as misguided as lemmings.
May you get the most out of your software but realize that your eyes
are closed.  I look at the IBM pc as the defunct concept of communism in
a world where capitalism is winning out plain and simple.  The longer
you keep one hand on your pants and one on piece of junk keyboards,
you'll go through a real catharsis one day when your jobs dry up...

Later....
