A Universal Computing System Dialogue

Yesterday I had a long discussion about a universal computing system. We don't learn to drive every time we change cars. I imagine that within five years computers will finally have their five or six main parts (operating system, motherboard, chips, memory, etc) standardized and compatible with everything else. People from theoretical mathematicians to grandmothers will be able to approach and use the same machine at whatever level they need. It's absurd that after forty years this hasn't happened yet. Imagine if we had twenty different television systems, etc.

The End of the Affair

Sixty years.  Affairs like this don't end after sixty years. These love affairs are usually marriages that end with death, regardless of what the survivor does after the death of the beloved. This is different. Sixty years without even a marriage. More passionate for the whole duration than I can explain to you. More intense; more fantasies; more realities; nitty gritty and sublime in one dose, in the same block, in the same hour. Could anyone without this same passion ever understand?
