exhalations

Had to reboot my Dell Axim X5 today. After a quick search using Google, I figured out that the erratic behaviour of Pocket Word was not uncommon, and that a soft reset would most likely fix the problem, as it did. It still seems a little amazing to me that we as consumers of computer products put up with such flawed systems. I read an article about Bill Gates recently, and his main interest is in producing products that consumers can't live without. Fixing the existing systems would be high on my list. Computer vendors don't want to acknowledge bugs in their systems, much less use that fact as a selling point for an upgrade.
