Do you know the source?
A number of years ago - something like 8 - an interesting quote appeared in
a publication put out by the Princeton Computer Center. It was attributed,
as best I can recall, to someone at Xerox. I've long since lost my copy of
it - does anyone have it? The original had much nicer wording, but went
something like this:
We haven't solved all of our problems; at times, it seems we
haven't solved any of them. [something about each "solution"
just opening up new questions] We believe we are as confused
as ever, but we think we are confused on a much higher level
and about more important things.
Please send answers to me by mail; I'll forward one clean copy of the text -
if anyone has it - back to the net.

BTW: For those of you who believe in probability theory: The above text
was typed EXACTLY as you see it; it was NOT run through a justifier, and
I did NOT type the lines all the same length deliberately - it just came
out that way! (It just happened again for the last two lines!!!) -- J
