Chris, > I think we're still in the stone ages of computing and especially programming.

Hardware is maturing. All that's left now is integration and specialization. Unless you think quantum computing is the wave of the future.

I agree with you regarding programming, though. The vast number of programming languages out there is just a hint of how many different ways you can digitally model something.

"I still love C. It's just such a compact, elegant language, made for the programmer who knows how to use it."

I've used C ever since I took the DECUS tape and ported it from RSX-M to IAS on an 11/70. But I wouldn't want to manage a large project using it. If for no other reason, there is always someone who doesn't really understand pointers leading to some hard to find bugs.
