| Being a Windows XP grumpy old man of no known | | | | finish! What! It then pops up the same window again |
| repute I am particularly grumpy about Windows at | | | | asking you to do the same thing. So in desperation |
| this time. With Windows XP you get all these funny | | | | you hit the cancel button. Then it more or less calls |
| messages that you are supposed to understand | | | | you a silly old thing because it could not install this |
| instantly. Some of them are so vague you wonder | | | | hardware and that you will have real problems as it |
| whether it's talking to you or to itself. | | | | was not installed properly. |
| You boot up your PC "found new hardware" you are | | | | Your windows PC gets slower and slower as time |
| told. What new hardware? Windows has found one | | | | goes by. It gets worse than us grumpy old men at |
| but it doesn't want to tell you what it is. Clairvoyant | | | | times refusing to give up what you ask for as you |
| is what you are supposes to be. It then goes off | | | | sit waiting for it to give up the goods. Does it tell you |
| and produces a window that asks you whether you | | | | what is ailing it, no it just meanders along sometimes |
| want to wander off into the internet cloud to find | | | | giving up pearls of wisdom like "I can't do that" Oh |
| some software for this hardware that has no name | | | | where can I find a simple sweet Windows XP fixer. |
| or do your own thing locally. Then it tells you that it | | | | This even extends to browsers running under |

| will not install it and still hasn't told you what it is. | | | | loaded a website that needs some active X |
| What happens now, it asked you if you want to go | | | | component but doesn't tell you what it is. When you |
| back and try again. Then it asks whether you want | | | | tell it to go off and find it, it wanders off into the |
| to select it from a list of devices. Hellooooo! You | | | | Internet cloud and then comes back and says it can't |
| haven't told me what it is Windows XP how am I | | | | find it. It like windows XP it also continues to refuse |
| going to do that? So you finally give up and click on | | | | to tell you what it is. |
