His stream-of-consciousness essay has hilarious nuggets like the "computer science axiom 'all software expands until it can send mail.'" There's a couple illustrations worth noting: <a href="http://www.ftrain.com/art/badword.gif">the first</a> looks like Word with <b>all</b> the tool bar icons enabled, and <a href="http://www.ftrain.com/art/suicide.gif">the other</a> is Word's paperclip assistant interfering with an especially private moment. Great stuff. post:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.689 Tue, 08 Feb 2000 13:01:03 -0800 mathowie PaulFord Ftrain Microsoft Word MSWord essay essays blog brokenlink http://www.metafilter.com/689/#643 Paul Ford is a big sloppy blog whore. comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.689-643 Wed, 09 Feb 2000 09:34:16 -0800 lucius
