Keep it Simple

 

I see my computer as a big house with many rooms.  Over time certain systems have failed.  I have no idea how to fix them, and the on-line, step-by-step help pages never do.  Consequently, I seal off the non-functioning rooms and just never go in there anymore.

My living space is now quite small.  Most rooms are closed, but lucky for me, all I use this computer for is a typewriter.  Once that aspect fails then I’ll consider getting a different house.

The sad part of it is, the more advanced the computers become, the greater the difficulty to fix them.  Perhaps what I need is a one-room schoolhouse to begin with.  Nothing fancy, no trickery or AI assisted gibberish.  No extra rooms or windows overlooking the gardens, just the Word program, Spell Check and a Printer.  That’s it.

 

Dear Santa,

 

I think I’ve narrowed it down.
