"Why Computers Are Screwed Up" by Andy Rooney
CBS News | Why Computers Are Screwed Up:"Bill Gates got off on the wrong foot the first time he decided to turn off his computer. Do you simply press a button that says OFF when you want to turn it off? You do not. The first thing he has us do to stop is to press START.
Makes sense, doesn't it?

Next, it asks SHUT DOWN?

Then it says WHAT DO YOU WANT IT TO DO? Well, didn't I just tell you what I want it to do? It isn't finished either. It asks SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER? What the hell else do you think I want to shut down? The bedroom window?

Computers aren't nice to us. My typewriter never threatened me with a prison sentence by saying I have performed an illegal operation. "

Why is it that the first thing you see when you click on the Start button is "Shut Down" and the last thing you see is Programs? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
