For the very first time in my life I think I'm starting to understand why one just wants a computer which "just works": I'm looking for a car, which "just works".
I know I'm a strange male, but I don't like cars. There's no particular type, not even preferred company, but I do want reliability and long lifetime. Also my only reason for having a car is to be able to visit places and locations impossible otherwise, and this is where hiring is failing due to opening times.
Anyway, I think I have bit more tolerance now that I see how frustrating can it be when something's eating away a significant amount time and you don't even enjoy it.
