“While I have been using computers for two decades, the majority

behaves is normal for computers in general, that this kind of
behaviour is how it is with computers. They tolerate this state of
affairs when for me, it’s completely unacceptable.

“You wouldn’t settle for a car that stalls and has to be
restarted every 20 minutes. It seems people are perfectly happy to
accept constantly doing something similar with their
computers.”
