Remorse
My old Royal manual upright didn’t have anything like a hard drive, but it
was always there when I needed it, no matter how hard I drove it. Not so
with my iBook and its completely unjustified and altogether egotistical
name.
Writing as an original sinner, what I need is a meBook, not one that at the
slightest whim has to go into the shop for a geek week at the techies. That
was bad enough what with all my withdrawal pains, but then for it finally to
come home and be missing of all things its word processor (and after my
paying $85 to have everything backed up) was too much.
All that’s how come this OoN is in remorse code.
