Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Especially when they are the talk around the problem for 15 minutes and aren't particularly computer competent type?

And this one EXPECTS me to stay on the phone as he futzes and fusses and OY!

Ah, these people are the reason why, when I call phone support, they keep me on the line going, "OK, now click Start. Got it? You should see..." I always want to say, "Can you just tell me what to do and I'll call you back if it doesn't work??"

"Oh, we use the Internet terminal at the public library. And Yahoo!"

That's hot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I thought it was the teenagers who did all the web stuff for their Amish communities (before they officially convert and have to start avoiding electricity).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is there a browser that would run on a horse-powered difference engine?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Lynx is very plain.

An interesting webpage on Amish Tech. It sounds like they might hire non-Amish (or Amish teens, as Jessica said) to code and maintain the page, and possibly stop by the library to check it out from time to time. I didn't know that many kitchens had blenders operated by compressed air!

Kathy, that was a great article. I guess that I would have thought that any webpages were done by posers or people taking advantage of the Amish.

Strawberry disappointment.

Did someone mention Amish?
