Old Pinko said...: I just love this!

As someone who used MAC's for a couple of decades before reluctantly switching to the ubiquitous PC due to it's workplace dominance, I've always wondered: "How did second rate became first choice?"; 18 May, 2011 20:28
Sortition said...: For one thing, "second rate" was significantly cheaper. For another, as a user of the "first rate" products circa 1990, I can attest that failure was not an option on the "first rate" either. (It did come with a nice icon of a bomb, though.); 19 May, 2011 19:10

What is 40 Years in the Desert?

This blog is a place to put my stream of consciousness thoughts about life, politics, technology, and cats.

It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)

I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.

40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.

I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy. A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.

You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).

If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.

I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,
