	I agree, and concede the point. It doesn't HAVE to be this way.

	The thing that burns me is those of us in the academic computer
world who look upon computers as being `our' property. It's a pretty
snobbish attitude to try to exclude the rest of the world from computers
and computing devices just because they are complicated and the `average
user can't be expected to understand them.' The average user WON'T under-
stand, as long as the infamous jargon and other attempts by computerists
to keep the field to themselves exist.
