Leslie Michael Orchard pays us a nice compliment:
I think that one of the greatest compliments I can give to Eastgate, Mark Bernstein, and Tinderbox is this:
On the few occasions I’ve been inspired to build my own clone of or cousin to Tinderbox, the first tool for which I reach is Tinderbox itself.
That's the idea, of course. Doug Engelbart was the first to point out that, if we're really going to get leverage out of our software, we need to think about software that helps us think.
