Hans,

according to google the maxim "Simple things should be simple; complex
things should be possible" was attributed to Alan in "Daniel E. Lipkie,
Steven R. Evans, John K. Newlin, and Robert L. Weissman, Stargraphics: An
object-oriented implementation. Proc. SIGGRAPH'82, ComputerGraphics 16 (3),
July 1982, 115-124"

Hi all,


can anyone tell my a source or the context of Alan Kays citation:


"We aim to make simple things simple and complex things possible"


because I want to put it on my web site. Is the citation correct ?




Thanks in advance




Hans
