Yes, that's why I get so distressed when it doesn't work - a rejection and
with no explanation usually. In fact I get into a rage with the machines
much more than with people, I can't neutralise their non-co-operation by
seeing them them as suffering fellow human beings.
I also talk to my computer too much, like now. What am I doing drivelling on
at this time of night? Go to bed you blasted machine.
