Having read the article, I didn't get "old", "bitter" or even "woman" from it. She talks about getting a Mac when she was 19, so that would put an upper limit of 40 on her age. My guess from reading the article would have been early 30's. I don't think that most people enjoy learning to use new things as much as you. I'm personally still a bit upset with Nokia for abandoning the perfect UI they had on their 9000 series phones in the late 90's. Having typed my share of unintentional avant garde poetry on an iPhone keyboard, I can somewhat sympathize with the author, even though I otherwise dig the shiny interface.
