There just aren’t enough THESES and TERRABYTES for what you have done to me today, BILL GATES!!!!!

And do you really think I’d stop where Martin Luther stopped??!!! At a 95-picture rant??!!!
(Rant Cont’d, below…)

You, MR. BILL GATES, made even Marley, Supervisor Cat, leave me ALONE today with all this. He was nowhere to be found, watching…supervisor…ha ha…I heard him meow, “Not my circus, not my monkeys!”

You, MR. BILL GATES, made me have to think about the butterfly effect, today.

You, MR. BILL GATES, made me acknowledge that I am now only almost back to zero. That is, one computer, on one desk, with all my files that need sorting and organizing and doing things with.

You , MR. BILL GATES, make me frustrated that I haven’t yet figured out how to make Photoshop 7 run but Photoshop 6 is available with functionality. I own both discs. You are throwing me back into the dark ages, literally. Photoshop 6, really? I demand Photoshop 7 and no less of your Windows 11 thing.

You , MR. BILL GATES, made me eat eggs at 10 pm and vinegar chips by 11 pm…

And you know what the worst part of all this is? You, MR. BILL GATES, made me write this!

Because…all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…
