My ax:

I personally have been dis-enfranchised by
the conception of the user promulgated by
the computer industry in the last several
decades.

I use computers for

   programming
   writing
   communication
   recreation

And thus I am not a "typical user".
My opinions on how things should work don't
count, *because* I know what I'm doing.




On a less personal level:

Is it really so certain that I am not a
"typical user" you should be studying?

  You might need                              manifesto in 2002, right
  to focus on a                               before the obsession 
  niche: people who                           with the swipey-zoomey
  know what they're                           touch screen interfaces
  doing.                                      of mobile phones took 
                                              off.
                                              
                                              Stick with me, I'm in
