	No, no, no. . .you misunderstand my point. There's no conspiracy
to keep computers away from the masses. It's just that a lot of computer
scientists have secret feelings (or job insecurities) which make them
feel as though they had to keep the technology to themselves, and to let
the public have only a watered-down, simplified version of their knowledge.
Thus, home computers become tax-computing, game-playing toys.

	It's good that you have such an attitude towards your profession.
Unfortunately I think that much of the reason for the lousy documentation
in personal computer software (and also the somewhat shallow software
available) is due to hidden fears on the part of some CS people.
