Found the problem in the latest sim run. Progress is slllloooooow but at least it's not absent altogether.
I read two newspaper-things that were not comics yesterday. They reminded me why I don't do that more often. One was a whiney column about how some building should be turned into art studios because it would otherwise house computer people, who are rich, boring, and lifeless and should therefore not occupy a desirable building. The other was a followup about a dancer who couldn't afford, on her own, to attend the prestigious chance-of-a-lifetime program she had been admitted to, but whose tuition was PAID IN FULL by a pair of strangers (venture capitalists - computer types) who heard her story and wanted to help. The two made an interesting juxtaposition. I can't help thinking that if the ballet student and the painter were to get together, they wouldn't like each other much. I know which one I'm cheering for. And in future I'll stick to the comics.

Maybe she'd make the same judgment if she did know me. After all, I don't paint, and I do use computers! And if that's the way it'd be, hey, that's okay. We don't have to be friends. I'll probably never run into her at an orgy. :-)
Seriously, just a few days agao I was wondering when we'd start seeing more geek-bashing again. It went out of style when dotcoms made geeks the millionaires of the moment. Now that lots of folks lost their shirts in the aftermath, there's a lot of angst to go around, and geeks seemed the likely target.
Yup. Which is about as intelligent as blaming Enron's janitors for its collapse. There's a reason non-geeks aren't geeks. :-)
