The second to last line attributes Apple for pioneering the graphical 
interface. Perhaps several letters to the editor would be received well by 
this publication. It's readership is fairly broad. Extolling the research 
work of Smalltalk and even the broader goals and economic benefits of 
education through dynamic automation might grab them. cheers, rob

For an economics rag, I'm perhaps a little more interested that they think 
the flaw in Napster was the central server, not producing an infrastructure 
for ripping off people who produce intellectual (ok, most of it falls short of 
that<g>) property.

The truly scary thing is how little reading I had to do to get the true story on 
Smalltalk, GUIs etc.  The fact that the _computer_ rags don't demand their 
authors so inform themselves is sad.
