Dear Beaker,

Why don't we have elephants in the wild in England?

It's too cold for mammals without fur

Not all users look at the software/hardware in the same way as the developer. In fact, most users do not even think in the same way as most developers. This is not their fault, it's yours. Make your software work the way your users want it to.

Your path to the future may often be stoney...

Befriend a user, extract their knowledge, assimilate and then you shall grow.

Dear Beaker,

When I was young I lived in a house called Tau Ceti, which is the name of a nearby star. What do aliens from Tau Ceti look like?
