When I tried to start my writing PC, it talked back to me with a loud "Phfft," as if to say "forget it, fool." And then it smelled bad, like a burnt computer fart. This was Old Faithful, my steady friend, something like a Stepford Husband that did all I asked of it. A friend built it for me at least 15 years ago.
