% language=uk \startcomponent musings-introduction \environment musings-style \startchapter[title={Introduction}] This is a collection of articles and wrap|-|ups that don't suit in other manuals or collections. Some are published, some meant as draft for a presentation. The \quotation {Children of \TEX} article is the framework for a presentation at Bacho\TEX\ 2017 in Poland, and covers the main theme of the conference. In the aftermath of that conference I wrote \quotation {Advertising \TEX} and later \quotation {Why use \TEX?}. The 2018 Bacho\TEX\ conference theme is explored in \quotation {What’s to stay, what’s to go}. After a short discussion on the \CONTEXT\ mailing list about stability (at the moment that \MKII\ had been frozen for more than a decade but is still used without problems) I wrote \quotation {Stability}. Many of the thoughts in these articles are influenced by discussions with my colleagues Ton Otten and Kees van Marle. Operating in a similar arena, they provide me the reflection needed to sort out my thoughts on these matters. \startlines Hans Hagen Hasselt NL 2017\endash 1028 \stoplines \stopchapter
