Thanks much, Claude, but I have to be highly suspicious of such a condescending writer. Here are a couple of example of what I mean. "The world’s most pressing issues, like that of climate change, can only be overcome with machines like quantum computers." We can overcome climate change with computers? Like computers can prevent climate changing volcanic eruptions, or nuclear winter, or even the warming and cooling of ocean currents? "Today’s computers use bits. These are values that can be either 0 or 1." Duh, what did yesterday's computer's use? I think I was first exposed to "bits" in computing back in the 60's, and like I said, I'm a Dummy. ...ran a few punch cards in my time, but as I got I got conversant with Wordstar, it was already obsolete. Sorry, but I find this guy's approach as offensive as one here who insists he knows the future, because he runs a business, implying that no one else here can match his background or experience.
