I got everso stroppy when XP tried to do everything for me and had hidden the obvious bits I was used to with Windows '98! I witnessed a man whose boot flung open (trunk) - when he was INSIDE the supermarket because he'd jiggled his key in his pocket! Madness! See now I quite like that little clippy person thingy.

I see you're trying to land a Boeing 757!". Worryingly near the mark. I'm still worried my fridge won't turn the light off when I shut the door.
