She has a great personality to boot, I never once saw her take a whack at anyone with her cane.  I usually go out and sit with her and her son for a few hours, talking to her about the accounting software she used to program makes me appreciate where we are today. Even if things are bloated as hell in comparison. She could probably reprogram half the utilities on MR and make them a tenth their size and ten times faster. Course, half her original experience was on punch cards...
