Don't tell me what word to use. I've been using "persona" to describe "yttrx"
for over a decade, bitch. Dot was a bit less foul mouthed, but had most of
the same opinions.
The opinions of the person behind both? Easy:
I hate everything about computers except for two things:
1. their ability to make money
2. games
Anything else is a waste of time, and honestly I'd rather be sitting under a
yew tree (or maybe a bench by cleopatra's needle) in Central Park with a little
Proust.
