For someone who's supposedly "been using computers since 1972" he's
quite daft. Of course, it is the fashion of journalists to write a
controversial fluff piece to generate traffic (or else he's being
honest and telling the world that, despite 35 years of "experience"
(and, he started when you HAD to read a manual to do things), he's in
no position to comment on issues relating to computer).
