April 9, 2000, on How to Become As Rich As Bill Gates:
I am small business owner who has spent way too much $ over the years on Windows computers and software. I have yet to have any of the MS Office or other MS software work as advertised. I have had it with crashes and having my business records suddenly turn to gobblety-gook every few months and the months of rebuilding them. I finally got so frustrated this last time that I gave up and went back to (gasp) DOING THINGS BY HAND!!! You know what? I have saved myself countless hours by hand-writing invoices and using the old 'paper' ledger system. I can access a customers complete record faster and I don't have the fear of being unable to work due to 'the computer being down'. I actually take a couple days off a week now. Before I was working 16/7. And I've saved enough to hire a real PERSON to help me. I still use the computer for the web, but I sure as heck don't trust it. I really miss my old commodore 64.
