Connor Oliver’s Favorite Computer: An Old Mac
Connor Oliver:
This Mac has no form of notification system built in, it never
begs for your attention and its applications never try to distract
you from what you are doing, begging you to look at them instead.
If I get distracted while using this Mac the fault lies squarely
on me, not the computer and not the programs running on it.
This Mac is unchanging in a world where things change by the
minute. It will never receive another software update and is
thoroughly obsolete, but it’s comforting to have something that
you know will stay the same forever, remaining in a known state
every time you return to it.
