I’m not making this up. This site exists. Go here.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry.

You’ll laugh mostly.

PEOPLE the battery life appears less because YOU CAN’T PUT THE DAMNED THING DOWN.

That would pretty much explain it.

This was from an email that Bill Gates sent back in January of 2003.

You can read the entire email here. It’s definitely worth it.

Subject: Windows Usability Systematic degradation flame

I am quite disappointed at how Windows Usability has been going backwards and the program management groups don’t drive usability issues.

Let me give you my experience from yesterday.

I decided to download (Moviemaker) and buy the Digital Plus pack … so I went to Microsoft.com. They have a download place so I went there.

The first 5 times I used the site it timed out while trying to bring up the download page. Then after an 8 second delay I got it to come up.

This site is so slow it is unusable.

I’m no expert. The pictures above may have something to do with it.

Ha!

Hat Tip: CM

from a friend of mine via email..

The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

‘Well,’ said the Director, ‘we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.’

‘Oh, I understand,’ said the visitor. ‘A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.’

‘No.’ said the Director, ‘A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?’
