Neighbor bought a little Dell desktop box with Win10 on it. Went over and got her wireless router working with it and got her email and stuff setup. Then she calls and said she’d bought a little printer, and her son couldn’t hook it up, so wanted me to do it. When all was said and done, installing the Win10 mandatory updates, getting the right drivers, compatibility settings, administrative rights, rebooting half a dozen times, etc., it was a couple of hours of screwing around. I think I’ll be doing a lot less support for my neighbors. That was too painful for such a minor thing.

If Microsoft would stop trying to create more worthless crap that even the geeks can’t figure out, perhaps they would actually sell more products. Simply stated, make one good hammer and start building better saws, we have buildings to build.
