What a beautiful well written story. It poignantly details the perils of a 486 class user dropped into a G3 learning curve. Her misty eyed description of the sound of a floppy drive, slowly consuming the contents of it's magnetic meal, was almost too much for me. After all, what else could you do while the little dickens was grinding away? Every resource in your computer devoted itself exclusively to listening to the product of that grinding.
Sure, it sounds pretty, but, waxing elloquent about the past wont teach our missguided heroine about USB memory sticks, or cross platform software. This shepardess could learn a few tricks from the flock of users that have converted to the one true OS.
