So, when your Aunt asks why her 1.2GHz computer isn't fast enough to run an online word processor that has the same fucking features as the 1987 version of Corel WordPerfect, you don't have an answer for her. There is no justification. The "Web Operating System" just highlights how much journalists don't know about computers. " . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
