			<description><![CDATA[This is how it is for any fast-changing science or technology. You spend years learning to do something, only to have it become outmoded. My Greek vocabulary application has been migrated from HyperCard to Mac OS X Cocoa to iOS. My database applications have gone from HyperCard to FileMaker to Panorama. What about the year I spent painstakingly disassembling and reverse-engineering the ROM on my LASER (Apple IIc clone)? I've written books in Gutenberg (an amazing Apple II layout application, similar to TeX) and FrameMaker; now I can't even run those programs. I've forgotten more programming languages and techniques than most people will ever learn. My father used to program in ones and zeros on a piece of massive graph paper representing the computer's spinning drum; it mattered *where* you put each line physically, because by the time the computer had read and executed a line, the drum had spun some distance, and you wanted the next line to be right there waiting to be read.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is similar to stories of ancient Japanese samurai warriors... so deeply and honorably committed to their craft that they neglected to notice that the need for their craft had passed them by. I am touched by your commitment.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[iOS doesn't want you to know, or even think about, the difference between suspending and terminating an app. Only the iOS system itself can terminate a suspended app in good order; if you do it directly, this is regarded as some kind of emergency kill and (as the article explains) destroys state. The bug is that shutting down the device is not regarded by the state restoration mechanism as termination in good order.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great article, as always, Matt!<br><br>&gt; people don’t generally manually kill an app in the app switcher<br><br>Are there any other ways to manually kill (or, preferably, safely quit) an app? As an old-timer, app minimization runs in my blood.  ;-)]]></description>
