First I want to thank you for another great post. Given your persuasive argument, a WIND purchase becomes a matter of when not if. I fret more about timing of purchases than many on this board.

A couple of thoughts.

a music-mathematics combination characterizes some young geniuses

Is there any hope for ole duffers that are more than a little fond of both? <gg>

the ability to abstract higher-level principles in software design. (Of course, Tom M-H or sditto could better address what sets programmers apart.)


For me it has always contained a component of abstract pattern recognition. To so meld the capabilities of the machine with the intrinsic pattern of the problem, that the software solution seems "natural" by hindsight.

On a somewhat different note, I've long maintained that someone skilled in psychology and programming could gain significant insight into a programmer's personality by reading their code.

the solution to dealing with such complexity required close collaboration between hardware-software companies

It's frequently at the interface where both the complexity exists and the clever solution can have a significant impact. This is true of hardware/software and man/machine interfaces (or better both simultaneously).

Thanks again for both your analysis and eloquent exposition.
