Grace, My point was not to argue that computing does not offer tangible productivity benefits. After all, I sell solutions that claim to offer tangible productivity benefits. In fact I couldn't run my relatively small consulting business, compete and win more often than not against larger firms, without the benefits of the computer. Far from being a Luddite, I've been intimately involved with the personal computer revolution, which really sparked a total computing revolution, almost from the start. I've also been involved in the mainframe, software, networking, and storage sectors. Its been exciting all the way through, not just in the last few years of speculative frenzy. I was simply looking at Gilder's retort - he chose to focus on a simplistic view - the average PC user using Word, which Heinz brought up - and turn that into a new-era-ish sweeping statement. I have no time for new-era folks running other people's money. More often than not they spend all their time looking forward. Forward thinking is a good thing to be sure, but not if no time is spent considering history or daily reality.
