I don't feel as safe "on" my computer yet, as I
used to feel, driving MY car, I can't go as fast
yet, can't load IT with speech and sexual and
quasi political content well, can't race (anything)
with it yet, can't really hack it, tune it, tend to it's
hardware needs yet, customize it, keep "it" safe
yet, it's not me, yet.
I can't brag about IT yet,
use it as a resolution of conflict yet,
feel the arrogance and impotence of power with
it,
yet.
