real along to see it. These are the people who have to actually use it, isn’t fair to make sure they can live with it before purchasing it ?

So I hope this little paper, with it’s concentration on the way things work, has helped to remove some of the mystique from the subject. A subject which at the moment is full of unpleasant surprises, it’s like a mine field. This dozen or so pages won’t have removed all the mines – life’s too short. But if I’ve made a safe path through, I’ve achieved something.
