Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of magic.
Very, very close to a routine I used to do about teaching my dad DOS and Word Pro, after all his years on a Remington.
Is this DOS thing the same as my to do list?
What do I do with this infernal blinking line at A:>?
Why is this floppy coaster thing so big?
I'm running out of room on my desk, can it double as my mouse house? Pad? Same thing.
I wanna kill this mouse, stupid thing. And those OK messages that I have to click. It all interrupts my stream of thought.
Why are there so many damn "error" messages? Why did the programmers write this with so many errors? What? You think I'm making all these errors? Really now.
How come it doesn't go ding when I press the carriage return? I want to know when I'm on a new line.
This word thingy keeps reversing the letters, I've been typing for years, never had that problem on my Remington.
Tab? Everyone knows you press six spaces when you start a new paragraph.
Where's the space after pressing this key?
This silly dictionary doesn't know half the words I like to use.
My Remington uses normal paper, why do I need all these holes on the side?
What if I want to use different colored paper? I got stacks of it.
What am I going to do with all the White-Out I've bought?
The computer doesn't like my cigarette smoke? It's a whimp, like you and your sinuses.
