A friend of mine gave me the story of this anonymous somebody, both of whom will remain nameless. Anyways, this guy was trying to install his new mouse in Windows XP, and it seemed impossible. He couldn't understand the user manual. He plugged it in, and nothing. He tried to restart, and couldn't even figure out how to do that, until he thought that he could do it by hitting the power switch. It has now been two hours, and the mouse is still not installed.

This, my friends, is a total travesty against the right of every human being to not have to fight with a piece of machinery.

On my mac, I took the mouse out of the box, threw the instruction manual in the trash along with the cd, and plugged it in. I was using my mouse two seconds later. This is the way computers should treat people, not like the above.
