If she gets a new computer, her incantations and omens that she currently uses to struggle along with the old one won't be useful any more. The catch is, not only will they not be useful, they won't even be necessary, since she'll be immune to the types of problems that they were meant to cure/diagnose in the first place. But that worry-free computing will be accompanied by the feeling of lack of control or understanding for her, and so she won't let go of her "security blanket" that she has such a tight grip on. The sad thing is, she doesn't even know the extent of the fear of moving on that is preventing her from getting the most out of the Internet. Eric Lucas

At least a bus driven by /BAH / unsettled would be crazier than a crazy thing which has had a bit of a nervous breakdown.

I think it's called the MG F. To my knowledge, they were introduced in the early 90s, and the company that makes them was thinking about exporting to the US, but it never happened. I suspect they just didn't want to have to deal with some safety or pollution control law that's unique to the US. Eric Lucas |
