Re: ROADMAP to FUTURE COMPUTING - NEW DISPLAYS.

Stan:

As interesting as this alert may be for some, it is not really good news.
Why do we have to rush into the future at this pace?
The main objective is capitalistic, as you mentioned.
We could easily stand a much more relaxed way, especially where our well
being is concerned.
If you have any kind of influence, please, let 'them' know.
