While it is being handed out, I'd like to retroactively say a few words in
behalf of Richard Curnow and Bob Seidensticker, who not only actually produced -- and refined -- usable products but did so, as far as i can find, without endless hours disputing the relative (de)merits of half a dozen mutually incompatible, generally bug-laden, and almost universally unusable cult classics of a variety of world-saviors. Computers may actually do something good for the world when the lunatic fringe either creates a product that does what it is asked to do or stops mucking up the water. Meanwhile, it is nice to get some sane results from time to time. Thanks, Richard and Bob! |
