Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously.

Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.
