Entry: Take My Computer, Please Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/take_my_computer_please#1679 Post contents: I had the honour, and the horror, of attending upon the assorted demises of Mr. Grace's many mechanical wives. With admirable discretion - men who whine on about the flaws and faults of their ex-wives say far more about themselves than the woman in question - Mr. Grace does not tell the half of it. Multiplied by the hundreds of thousands or now, likely, the millions and it is difficult to see how Microsoft can be anything but a negative factor in productivity and GDP. Get a Mac I said. Mr. Grace fought on. He was not one to put away a wife merely because she could neither cook nor clean nor bear fruit. The phone lines to Bangelore ran hot with Mr. Grace's good willed attempt to find a way, any way, to keep hope, if not love, alive. But, as he writes, in the end he had no choice but to junk a perfectly good computer and buy a new one so as to be able to run a perfectly dreadful OS. Which, no doubt, was precisely what Mr. Gates had in mind. Sent at: 2008 08 30
