Strange Conversations: Part Five
Posted 22 April 2008 in Strange Conversations by Catriona
A slightly cranky conversation (on my part), from which Nick emerges with the honours:
NICK (reading): You see, if you know a lot about the early history of Microsoft, you can kind of see the emaciated corpse of various early designs . . .
ME: Honestly, can we stop with the purple prose?
NICK: Well, I’m sorry, Mrs Pellucid.
(As a kind of payment for allowing me to blog this conversation, Nick has insisted that I add, as an addendum, the fact that I’ve just sat here muttering, “Shift button. Shift button. Do I have a shift button? Oh—it’s the one with ‘shift’ written on it.”

Speaking of emaciated corpses, Steph’s new laptop runs Vista.
