John H. Farr has a way with words - and a love of computers. Here he takes off on a trip through technology, OS wars, natural wonders, and the human condition, sharing observations, humor, and occasional rants. Each week the Farr Site has something to say about how computers have changed the lives of everyone on the planet. Here are stories about real people and issues, web sightings, and strange tales from cyberspace. \"Nobody warned me that liking all this would make it harder to be a normal person, whatever that is,\" he says, \"not that anything would have stopped me, of course. I\'m on the bus for good!\" Some of his topics include E-Mail from the Head Druid, Web Wimps, Windows Masochists, ISP Blues, Search Engine Salvation, Mexican Hackers, and Web-Cam Satori. The author describes trying to restrain himself from talking about his computer at parties, searching for signs of computer life in the strangest places, why you can\'t believe everything you read and how to win big anyway, and how his 85-year-old aunt evolved from ignorance to email in one week with an old Mac.
