Check out www.nepenthes.com/Misc/nerdvalley.html this is an article from
July '91 from GQ of all places which basically states that without
psychedlics the computer industry would be no where near what it is today...
it mentions Jobs, as well as the founder of Lotus and the developer of the
good ol' altair (also founder of PC Magazine according to the article) I
myself am going camping this weekend and plan on enjoying some fine San
Pedro tea... but I'm nobody so that doesn't really back up the argument...
so when we've reached our post human state I suppose us psychedlic users
will have an acid program... kind of like an internal screen saver... hmm
could be fun...
