Abstract

The now 50-year-old scrap heap of discarded, expensive computer equipment is a monument to bad design and bad understanding of these excellent new tools. The current inadequacies are glossed over with colours and pictures. Buzzwords are used to distract from the battle over control being waged with dubious interpretations of patent and copyright laws. Women have a major role in resisting these efforts.
