The About page reminds me of a Dijkstra quotation:
"Computing is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
- derleth 15y agoI've always preferred "Computing is no more about computers than thermodynamics is about engines."
- kevinalexbrown 15y agoI like both. I think yours conveys a sense that computing is not driven by the particular application of computers. The quotation I provided conveys instead the idea that computing is not only about a particular tool of computers.
