Mice woes

[geekgrrl-ca.livejournal.com]

I deal with people that don't understand the concept of clicking and double clicking... and the people with multi button mice who don't understand that you only right click when told and not to double right click and never write click on your monitor where the icon for my computer is.


Is it vacation time yet?

I don't get why people are so ready to tell themselves is okay to be bad with computers.

My mother, for example. She was a computator operator back in the 60s. This thing was a cash-register sized manual calculator. She used to key in a series of equations to run, and crank a handle to get the results. When entering the equations, a single keystroke wrong meant clearing the drum and starting all over again. That was 15 minutes of work lost, so she just didn't make mistakes. When taxes or company benefits changed, she used to crack the machine open and adjust the cogs with a screwdriver.

My mother? Cannot double-click. Because it's hard.

And to think, these same people are operating multi-tonnage machinery that takes a measurable amount of hand-eye co-ordination and logic skills to operate.

Its simply a users way of getting back at a company for supplying a product that they feel doesn't do the laundry for them.

Otherwise the Darwin awards would be a nationally syndicated TV show about the highway system. Wait, is that what the 'Wildest police chase' videos are?

My 2 cents.
