The User is Wrong

A common reaction among computer users is that the program or the programmer is stupid.

"Why does it not do it like this? It is so obvious that it should do it like this."

What the User is missing is that there are millions of stupid things, the computer succeeds in avoiding. From the moment the computer is switched on, there are thousands of stupid things the computer avoids doing every milli-second. Every time a computer starts up faultlessly, it is close to a miracle. and yet there are millions of computers around the world that start up without problems every hour - millions of brilliant miracles.

Think about that the next time your computer does not work. It works for millions of others. If it does not work for you, clearly someone is after you.
