a frustrated luddite's lament
The bestest thing I got for Christmas was The Complete New Yorker on DVD, 80 years of every issue, including ads and cartoons. This collection is the best rationale for the invention of the computer I can imagine.
Unfortunately, I don't happen to own a computer with a DVD drive. Seriously. And it will be at least a couple of months before I'm able to buy a DVD drive for this old clunker.
But then I will get absolutely no work done.
