____________________________________________________________________________ / A novice asked the master: "I perceive that one computer company is \ | much larger than all others. It towers above its competition like a giant | | among dwarfs. Any one of its divisions could comprise an entire business. | | Why is this so?" | | The master replied, "Why do you ask such foolish questions? That | | company is large because it is so large. If it only made hardware, nobody | | would buy it. If it only maintained systems, people would treat it like a | | servant. But because it combines all of these things, people think it one | | of the gods! By not seeking to strive, it conquers without effort." | \ -- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming" / ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
