My computer thinks I'm an idiot. Here's why. As a writer, I use my PC a lot. Most every day, actually. So, when I reach under my desk to press the on button, and click on the monitor, and click on the speakers--I know what I want to use the machine for. My computer doesn't seem to understand this.
This crap gets me. Yes Windows, I really am sure that I want to run every single application that I click on. That it why I moved the mouse and clicked the button. I do not have the attention span of a mosquito or the memory of a goldfish. Nor am I attracted to shiny things like a raccoon and am therefore clicking on icons because I think they look cool. I know what I'm doing, computer. Do not treat me like a droopy-eyed idiot slumped over my desk with Cheetos falling out of my slacked mouth.
I wish there was a button, or a setting, or a tab that I could find and click, set or adjust to tell the computer not to treat me like a moron. Perhaps some test to prove that I'm capable of stringing more than two words together at a time. Who does Windows think is using their software? I work with kindergarteners at school and even they, who get unresolvably distracted by a dragonfly that flutters in the room, know that when they click a button they mean it. Come on, Windows--be cool.
