Ayep!

There is nothing wrong with games and such.  They also serve people's needs. 
But "real work", whatever that is, just might favor tools that have always been 
used.

While it might seem so to some people, browsers and web servers is not all there 
is to IT.

OTOH, if DEC would have taken games seriously, perhaps they'd still be around.
