LOL.

We heard this from 1983 (Lisa) on. Oh, mouses are dumb. they slow you down. Who needs WYSIWYG? I love my WordStar key combinations! A trash can on a "desktop?" It's a toy! Visual interfaces? I learned to type in alphanumeric pathnames and basic DOS functions, and anyone who doesn't shouldn't be using a computer!

There's always a "Luddite drag" on new technology, it seems. At least that's the way it's been since the beginning of the industry. At the first West Coast Computer Faire, I heard guys saying that manual boostrapping was the only 'manly' way to operate a computer. Plus ça change...
