Technology that inspires...

Computers... bah! frustration machines! They're slow, they crash, and they lose your work. The Internet just compounds the problem. "A distributed system is one on which I cannot get any work done because some machine I have never heard of has crashed," as Leslie Lamport said.

But they also put you in touch with far away friends and let you share music and pictures and movies.
