I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah. I got suckered by one of those once. It's a very good thing I was at home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've become a lot more reticent about clicking on links (oh, the irony) since the migraines. I feel quite pacific about not having clicked on that one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My officemate doesn't remember when file names had to be 8 characters or less (it was 8, right?). Damn, I'm old.

No. Especially if you count today. There's still a surprisingly large number of businesses that are content to run on Windows 3.11, and still stuck with the eight character limit.

What I remember is laughing at PC users while cheerfully naming my files any damn thing on my Mac. Good times, good times.

Back in those days, I couldn't afford a Mac. My first PC was a Leading Edge XT clone - I got it for $400 new because it was discontinued.
