I mentioned a few days ago that the one thing I am certain about is that fishing beats working every time. For the past couple of days, I have been reminded that there is another certainty - computers were invented to drive me crazy.
I’ve been using computers since they were about the size of a small house. But, I know that they were not as much trouble back then. In the ‘good old days,’ a computer did what you told it to do and that’s all. If you wanted one to do something, you just wrote some code and it worked. Now, if you turn a computer on, you run the risk that everything you had when you turned it off, is either not there anymore or it duplicates everything.
I know I am old. But, I have reached the age when I really don’t want to spend hours trying to send an email or to receive one, but when PCs got away from basic DOS commands, you use one at your own risk.
If your computer crashes while reading this, don’t call me.
