A common attitude with Windows users here

[melott]

I think you guys are not seeing the forest
because of the trees.
You are forgetting that 'Windows' was/is supposed
to be the system for the masses.
Well the 'Masses' don't know squat about
computers. How do you expect them to keep them
running.
Windows is a very good idea with a very bad
implamintation.
If Windows was actually what it is supposed
to be then it would not need fixing every other
week, remember 'The Masses'.
I'm just a 'not very well informed' hobbiest.
But atleast when I screw something up on my
Amiga I can fumble around and fix it, not so
with windows.

(chuckle chuckle).....
I think this has turned into a general gripe
session about windows and lost track of
Micky's origonal statement.
Everyone has their gripe with Windows.
What you need to do is go back to the source.
TV ads.. All the computer manufactures advertise
their product to the general public as the
greatest thing since sliced bread, and
subconsiously we beleave the ads. Now we are
sourly disappointed when we find that they lied.
Most all of us owned an A500 or C64 or whatever
and should know better, but we don't.
Now what about all the unsuspecting public that
all these TV ads are directed at, they know
nothing.
They're not going to learn anything, all they'll
get is disappointment. People need to really
pay attention to the ads, you know like  24/7
tech support. Why do they need that if the
software worked as advertised.
I respect and envy Mikey's knowledge.....
If I could just figure out where to even start
on the Damned thing I would probably be OK.
