Are computers getting smarter or are we getting stupider. Confused
It seems that the more sophisticated the computers get the more problems we get and the more difficult it becomes to solve the problems. You thought computers would get so good that eventually all we would have to do is sit back and say a word here and there to get some action. Well, that's what your girlfriend tried to tell you, right? Yet it seems you're having to type and study and analyze and debug and reinstall and reformat and reprogram and re re repeat everything anymore.
Jeez! Now we have to study law just to install a program. The damn disclaimer is a mystery just to figure out what it says. I ACCEPT! I ACCEPT! Not because I know what the hail you are talking about, but because I just spent a half hour downloading this dog poop for the second time and after all this trouble I have no intention of DECLINING this offer until I finish my law degree. Besides, I don't even know if it works or if I like it, so I can't really decline it yet can I, you morons. You have billions of dollars, what the hail are you so worried about anyway.

Okay it says if you don't know just use default settings. Default settings? It ain't my fault, I know that. It must be default of de guy who wrote this crap a

ROFLMAO

hahaha! I thought it was just me! Oh boy, that's so funny I about fell out of my chair laughing! How I relate to all of that!

See, it's true that every cloud has a silver lining - the three minutes I spent rolling on the floor in delighted laughter while reading this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't spent so many frustrating hours trying to keep my computers behaving. Very Happy
