And excruciatingly white too! 
I've lived in Vancouver many years, and the 6 months of deep dark rain was just too much for me. If you're gonna' hibernate, it might as well be bright out for the few hours of sun a day.
I miss the mountains though.

Sounds beautiful.. in the dark winter, do you find yourself more often on the web?

Since discovering The Personality Forge I've spent most of my life on the web. Is there an outside?

Yah, it looks sort of like that orange/yellow at the top when the "sun" is going down.
The sun is sort of like the electricity that lights up your computer screen.

Other times, when the sun has already set, it looks kind of like your monitor when your OS crashes and you have to reboot. We call that "dark" and it usually happens at "night".

Actually, often on your computer you'll find words and terms that are used to describe various aspects of the "outside" world. Terms such as hierarchical "trees", "congestion/traffic", "shopping carts", "shortcuts" and "engines" all existed way before computers did. In fact, not many people realize this, but the term "menu" is sometimes used to describe this kind of printed list of food items that people would choose from in restaurants (remember restaurants? Back when we ate, before the forge).

Oh my god, you're right- my grampa used to go on and on about how the menus these days didnt have food on them, and I always wondered why you wouldnt just wipe the food off your monitor and continue your selection.

Another example of this kind is the "desktop" -- this does not technically require you to go "outside", but if you tear your eyes away from the monitor and look at the flat surface it is sitting on, chances are that's what the "outside" people call a desktop.
And don't forget "windows". There's a kind of them that gets lodged in your wall. If you look through one, you might see "outside". Unfortunately, there is no re-size button.

I live 30 miles from my office, so I have a "hard drive" to work. Sometimes I want to RAM another car, but then I figure it would be better to avoid the crash. Still, it's frustrating to be so disconnected. At times, I even have to "monitor" my language, because I can be a real cursor.

I work at home, so it's a zip drive. I don't have to back up, either.
Also, and I could send a picture...If the cat has a nap on the mouse pad...what is the obvious question?
