One Year Anniversary of Microsoft Windows's Last Login
« on: Thu, 13 June 2019, 14:46:08 »
After a long dormant period, Microsoft Windows made a comeback last spring with some humorous posts encouraging people to upgrade to Windows 95 and then disappeared again into the ether.

Will we ever see him again?

Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

Welll.. the main takedown for old' peeps these days is diabetus and heart disease.  Either one will make someone quite lethargic.

I suspect given his age, the light may be running low due to such common afflictions..

Let's hope not.

Also, I have a sneaky suspicion he didn't leave voluntarily, but like Betelgeuse now that you said his name he'll probably return, he's GH's version of herpes, he never goes away for good.
I should have perma banned him when I had the chance.

First post was here.

Years before most of us even knew GH existed.

Many of his original posts were instructive and/or informative.  In later years he (he? she?) decided to follow a certain theme.  Who are we to criticise it.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

he? she?
They?

Or... it?

What is the appropriate personal pronoun for an anthropomorphic personification of an operating system?

I, for one, thought his spam was rather funny, but I suppose there's already enough of it on the site to last us a good while.

Two things were always guaranteed replies to any thread: eat only veggies and switch to Window 98 and IE6. It just felt like part of the GH experience.
