Abstract
In a television commercial frequently aired in the United States, two managers stand behind a glass partition watching employees queue to use one terminal while dozens of computer terminals sit idle. The first manager asks, “Which personal computer is the best?” The second manager answers, “The one with the most memory, MIPS or megahertz.” The first replies, “I don’t think so, the best PC is the one that people use.” I agree with this sentiment: the important thing is to give people what they need.
