Is the author 12 years old? I mean, he speaks of using a 286, but then he throws 15 exclamation marks on bold and capital print and claims he has to disconnect from the Internet because Microsoft is spying on him.

How did this make the front page of HN? I thought people here cared about decent site design at the very least.

He is making valid points.

Any person that gets their dirty, greasy finger prints on my monitor gets a FIST IN THEIR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cry me a river and get off my lawn! I grew up on 256x192 in 16 glorious colors... on a blurry 14" TV screen, with RF interference both ways!

Oh, I see Microsoft is trying to sell monitors now.

Incredibly valid points, and that's just from the first page.
