Shelly's blog talks about Linux, an european threat to computers

She's extremely proud to have an IBM laptop which she considers as an American marvel, while the truth is that IBM has been outsourcing all of its PC manufacturing business to chinese maker Legend (now Lenovo).. I wonder if her blog post was a work of humour or something that she seriously felt about?

This person is certainly joking. Just have a look at her latest post about Linux and you will understand that she is seriously sarcastic but disguised it very well

I still doubt Eddie, she says, as a comparison, she benchmarked Windows 2003 with RedHat 3.0 (which surprisingly came with floppy disks)... LOL.. it couldnt get any funnier than this
