The same strategy with Microsoft... it means they can sell new
"versions".
https://www.miamiherald.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/dave-barry/article1963171.html But my point is that because of computer weirdness, I regularly see an
entire morning's work - sometimes as many as 18 words - get blipped away
forever to the Planet of Lost Data. Needless to say, I use Microsoft
Windows. I've been a loyal Windows man since the first version, which
required you to write on the screen with crayons. Every year or so,
Microsoft comes out with a new version, which Microsoft always swears is
better and more reliable, and I always buy it. I bought Windows 2.0,
Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1415926, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows
RSVP, The Best of Windows, Windows Strikes Back, Windows Does Dallas, and
Windows Let's All Buy Bill Gates a House the Size of Vermont. My computers
keep having seizures, but I keep buying Windows versions, hoping I'll get
lucky. I'm like the loser in the nightclub who keeps hitting on the hot
babe. His shoes are squishing from the piña colada she poured on him, but
he's thinking: "She's warming up to me!" I bring this all up because now
Microsoft has a new version out, Windows XP, which according to everybody
is the "most reliable Windows ever." To me, this is like saying that
asparagus is "the most articulate vegetable ever." But still, I am tempted.
"Maybe this will be the one, " I say to Buddy, as the two of us wait for
the disks to be scanned.
