The About page reminds me of a Dijkstra quotation: "Computing is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."


I've always preferred "Computing is no more about computers than thermodynamics is about engines."


I like both. I think yours conveys a sense that computing is not driven by the particular application of computers.

The quotation I provided conveys instead the idea that computing is not only about a particular tool of computers.
