My interest is home computer software. I'm not in it because it is booming; I think the key is that the programs must tell you how to use them.
Right now computing can be hard. Machine language is somewhat inaccessible. And Basic is not quite so bad, but it still blows some people away.
I have sort of been swept along on the crest of this wave right from the beginning. It gets bigger and bigger, and I try to stay a stroke ahead of it.
You can do things as a combination the way John Irving does. He writes a mass market book that is also literate. That is what I want to do.
Usually there is a lot of excitement about a project, especially in the middle of it. I have to force myself to go to bed at 2:00 a.m.
A lot of kids are simply users. They have no interest in programming. Others will figure out what programming is all about and get excited about it.
