The unabridged version of this excellent essay is available online,
and it is well worth reading in its entirety. Here is the message
describing it that Shaleh posted last month:
From: Shaleh <shaleh@livenet.net>
Subject: A must read for all Linux and computer lovers

There is an article from a month or so ago on Salon Magazine's site by
Ellen Ullman. She discusses her trip into the world without Microsoft
from a techie point of view. It is an absolute must read for anyone who
wants to know "why", rather than just use something. The URL is:
http://www.salonmagazine.com/21st/feature/1998/05/cov_12feature.html.
BTW she actually answers her e-mail too.
Thanks for telling me about the Harper's article, Rob. I picked up a
copy today, as there are several non-technical friends I would like to
share this with who will be much more receptive to a copy of Harper's
than to a URL.
