Okay, that's funny.  I love to tweak Apple cultists like everyone does.  Bur fair is fair. What's not funny *sigh* is how wretched Windows 7 is, and continues to become with every update.  For example, when I transfer pictures from my Canon A560 to the computer, I expect to be able to put them in whatever the hell directory I want.  It was a battle, because Mr. 7 wants to "organize" pictures in a some hierarchical system of its own design, and to hell with what I want. After a fashion I found a way to do it, but now I discover that the 7 pricks have lassoed and herded them back into the corral.  Obviously, then,  someone at Microsoft found out I was doing things the wrong way; cracked my knuckles with a ruler and corrected things.  I call that breaking and entering.  The reason for all this is obvious to, mostly, old timers.  The gene that makes programmers programmers is the same one that makes people control freaks.  It is their natural tendency to thrill at having dominion over people not as bright as they.  These ambitions are controlled in the carefully supervised programming environment.  Guess  what?  Yes, the inmates have escaped oversight, evidently, and are run amok.  If all this makes you think "my God, he's describing government," you're right.  The ambition to control other people attracts the same personality.  When you see a seventh grader campaigning like hell to be elected class president, after nominating himself, you are seeing a future programmer, a manipulator of people.  Here's an example of that culture, one that exists in Microsoft today.  Beginning with Windows 7, the time waster called Microsoft Hearts underwent an extraordinary metamorphosis.  The key move was retaining statistics from prior games.  The player is now allowed to win, say,  25% of the time with minimum cheating in the form of reneging.   At about the 40% win level however, it's total war.  By that I mean all pretense of playing by the rules is gone.  Every hand is programmed to  make it impossible for you to win.  Stacked deck and reneges galore.  If you still manage to get to the point where a win is possible, even probable, the game uses tactics tantamount to shooting you and declaring victory.  You will simply be trampled. I swear to Jesus, I just now had a moment of perfect clarity.  Microsoft is  running the Democrat party.
