Amen, Brother Mahlon. We're in agreement here. We all own computers. We
live in a technical age, and tend to worship at the feet of Deus/Makina.
But in the end, it's all about the human experience. The moment we make

become nothing but technicians. The technology must always be in the
service of our minds.
