COLLOQUY

Responses


Basically, better Plato or Moses, than Bill Gates or Lou Gerstner. Anyone (now don't get mad) can be taught to push a colored button, but better to teach someone the ethical foundations of button pushing (if you missed it, harken back to the days of hardened silos and buttons with serious consequences in the pushing). Know too that the acquisition of button pushing knowledge even in a Windows 95 environment has its consequences that argues for So Crates before Bill Gates.
