Some friends and I muse about what it would take to create a home for people like John during their twilight years. Its very challenging. There aren't a lot of high tech jobs that pay pensions, and the retirement money is very unevenly distributed around.

Not a lot of folks think about that now, but someday, maybe sooner than we would like, some icon of computing history is going to get rousted out of a homeless shelter on national TV. I don't look forward to that day, not at all.
