Unix – The Hole Hawg

Unix – The Hole Hawg by Neal Stephenson.

I assume everyone on the Net has seen and enjoyed this item but it’s Friday and I could not resist repeating it.

I particularly liked the line: “….when I got ready to use the Hole Hawg my heart actually began to pound with atavistic terror.”

Don’t know that I want people to view using topic maps with atavistic terror but I would not mind if the people who topic maps were being used against had that feeling. 😉

Nothing markets a product better than fear someone else has a better version (and it about to do something to you with the better version).

Admittedly I don’t have or know of a demonstration of topic maps that would strike fear in anyone, but I suspect that is only a matter of time.
