I don't agree with your characterization of my post, but I do appreciate your sharing this piece (and the fun flashback to old, oversized issues of GWS). Thanks for sharing it! Such a tragedy that Holt died shortly after he wrote that, I would have loved to hear what he thought of the last few decades of computing.

Same, after reading your post, it sent me down reading all sorts of guest articles he did left and right, and it really made me wonder what he'd think of all this. I feel like his views on technology changed over his lifetime. He got more.. I dunno, cynical over time?
