Date: 1 Jun 1995 00:43:22 +1000 Organization: University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia. Lines: 13 Message-ID: <3qhvaa$p8m@wumpus.cc.uow.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: wumpus.cc.uow.edu.au Summary: I'm doing an article about computer myths Keywords: myths computer folklore I'm doing an article about computer myths and I'd like people to submit anything they know of other people who believe in faulty myths to do with computers... like that Bill Gates personally invented the PC or that a PC is better than a Cray, or that that Windows was the *first* GUI. The more detail you can give me, the better; if you can give credit to a particular authority for the mis-information, a newspaper for example, even better. keithm@wumpus.cc.uow.edu.au
