The PC, or PERSONAL COMPUTER, is, or certainly should be, the
central core component of everyone's life.  The PC represents
absolute empowerment.  It allows every man to be a publisher,
artist, composer, writer, musician, etc., etc.  In the modern
digital world the PC is the ultimate, universal tool.

Thus, perfecting ones computer is never meaningless and
is always a rewarding adventure in that it forever exposes
new realms to the imagination.  There is never a question
of what to do next but rather of which of the many new
directions to pursue.

Some may not agree or appreciate.  But for those that don't
they invented the "phone."  Like babies with pacifiers stuck
in their mouths, so too are they stuck with their phones.

The sole, singular purpose of marriage is to produce
and raise offspring.  When there are kids around such
a question will never arise.  But when the kids are
gone then emptiness erupts.

Similarly, the sole, singular purpose of the computer
is to creatively compute.  As long as the power flows
the question of "what next?" will never arise.  But
if the power fails then one is confronted with only
useless hardware and emptiness results.

The hardware is only the means to the end of creativity.
