It always makes me sad to see these beautiful ideas to use technology to bring about a better life for everyone squashed by ineptitude and greed of bureaucracy.

In their view, it was the Bulgarian worker rather than the system that was to blame—shirking responsibilities, pilfering the petty change, and sleeping on the job.

It's amazing how similar this is to capitalist thinking. Guess it doesn't matter if the people are exploited by private owners or the state.

If I put in anything mah jong related it removes all the previous topics and resets the page. I've tried with 'mahjongg' and 'mah jong'. Though 'mahjong' seems ok, it just doesn't pull anything.

I was trying to understand that as well. I wonder if it was worded strangely and meant that Commodore was seen as the cost-cutting brand that Amiga had to separate itself from?

It's not necessarily about nature, though for many of us that is where we find what we are looking for. It's more about taking a minute or thirty for yourself. In that time you aren't being productive, but you are giving your mind a much needed rest. It could be watching the lights from cars on a road late at night. Or staring at leaves. Or just getting a good view of your city from a high vantage point.

That's not to say that there aren't obnoxious people always talking about how "enlightened" they are. I'd say they are in the minority, however.
