I'm on a couple of mailing list with Dr. Solly, an early antivirus
researcher. he likes to talk about this idea of "Grannyx" an
(hypothetical) operating system for Grannies that just does what they
need, doesn't have security problems due to simplicity and missing
unneeded features, and doesn't mix data and code.

Then I point to the Web.

Like it or not, the Web doesn't work right without Javascript now. The
world has encoded von Neumann architecture into the standards.
