Change

Steenking computers. They used to be expensive, so people took some trouble with developing software for them. Now computers are cheaper than dirt, numerous outfits are promoting new fangled programming languages that make it 'easy to program' these dirt cheap computers, so now many people are turning out all kinds of programs and hardly anybody is spending any effort on it.

The problem is that there are no standards anymore. We are constantly exhorted to install the latest updates because it fixes some kind of problem. Maybe it does, but mostly it doesn't, it just changes the way some things work and now when you try to use it, it doesn't work and you have to learn the new way of using it. Phooey. It worked fine before, and now you've changed it for no good reason. I am never installing another update as long as I live.
