- Please define "requires." If you want to get picky, most of the
- work done on computers does not REQUIRE a computer; computers
- just make the work easier and faster. For example, you can
- type letters and reports on a typewriter, keep databases on
- index cards, and so forth. (This is certainly possible, since
- we did this for years before computers became common.)
-
- What work REQUIRES Windows? Very little. What work is made
- easier and quicker by Windows? Lots.
