Observations upon reading the newspaper over breakfast:

The peope who write for the Courier Mail's little IT section are either morons, or they're seriously babying it down for their readers. I'm not sure which is worse.

Example #1: an article on Yahoo Messenger, about how there's this Wow! new program that lets you exchange messages instantly!

This is news? Where have you people been? Personally, I prefer AOL instant messenger, and have been using it since my first year at university. Which makes it three years and counting.

Example #2: an article on a little utility that allows you to edit the info of your MP3 files. But! It only works on Windows2000 or NT4.

So what?? Go into WinAmp and you can edit the information as you see fit. And it works on any sodding platform. (This leads me to ponder my own assumptions, and now I'm wondering what people use to listen to MP3s if they don't use WinAmp?)

Oh, and an honourable mention to the twit who sent in a letter asking for a program to tell him where he had free space and where he could delete files, because he was running out of room on his hard drive. Clever chap. Yes, what you really need is to install another program and take up even more room on your computer.

Gah.

Oh, and my other major observation was on that insidious phenomenon known as Big Brother (not linking, no way). I just have to say (sorry Shauna) that that blonde nitwit (Sara-Marie, if you had any doubts) annoys the hell out of me. She's far too insipidly silly and vain to gain even a skerrick of respect from me.

And frankly, I'm going to be glad when the whole stupid thing is over.
