Creative Inventors

Well, I'm one, and I have been being desperately creative over many
years; both for my in-house software for my language school and for my
Devawriter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My in-house stuff works, insofar as kids seem to learn both English and 
cognitive skills from it. Frankly, if my school did not have 4 PCs 
running Linux with those
standalones, while the children would have a more boring time, the 
parents who pay wouldn't give a damn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Devawriter is most instructive; it is so bl**dy creative, so bl**dy 
inventive
that people react against it; it is too clever by half; people would rather
continue working with the half-cock methods of doing what Devawriter does
far better because . . .

  . . . well, because people stick with Windows XP here in Bulgaria, 
rather than moving over to Linux, even though their systems are virused 
to the hilt, crash like mad, and
so on and so forth . . .

So far I have made the princely sum of $10 from my Devawriter: it sits 
there,
mocking me, in my PayPal account.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, probably better NOT to be very creative, or very inventive, but 
churn out
rather more pedestrian stuff . . .  :)
