   Let me put it this way:   
   It's also no use to code demos, play games, climb the mount everest, run   
   a marathon or build a model railway. It's just done for fun, excersise,   
   fame, personal satisfaction, to win a bet, to amaze other people,   
   whatever.   
   Don't always ask for the "sense" of doing something. Some things we do   
   just don't make a lot of sense, like putting pictures on the wall, they   
   just make us feel better for some obscure reason.   
   I mean.. does it make sense you post to alt.c64? A forum for an old,   
   computer, that is regarded as being "obsolete" by the majority mankind?   
   Obviously not, but hey: that's perfectly okay.
