I read a bit about him today, and I don't fully understand the software
"modes" that he was apparently against. My guess is they are talking
about the confusion I went through in my first BASIC college class,
where the terminal started with a dot as a prompt. You type BASIC and
the dot goes away. You type LIST and you see the program lines you are
working on. You type END and the dot appears again. You type LIST at
the dot and you see file names instead of the BASIC lines you saw a
second ago. It all made no sense for (literally) a couple of hours, and
then the light bulb went on.
