I quite expected protestations coming from the Computer Literate hierarchy who probably use the most up-to-date machines and operating systems, and like nothing better than to fiddle about with their puters, and having orgasms when they successfully install a mind blowing piece of software.
Well the reality is, that most puter users just want to store photos, write stuff on facebook, twitter and Over Fifties Forum, pay bills and do some online shopping....They want to be able to boot up their machines and find it just like they left it without having to keep referring to the manual to discover what's gone wrong.
Their machines are probably a few years old when a one gigabyte ram would fulfil their wildest dreams. Operating systems are most likely Vista, Windows Seven or Eight and were not designed to download vast amounts of data that the latest machines can now handle with ease.
So it's hardly surprising that an older system get's screwed up big time when unlimited fixes for this problem or that problem, which didn't even exist before accepting an update.
So if your system does not encounter problems after allowing updates it boils down to three things. (1) Either you are lucky (2) You know quite a bit about computers or (3) You have all the latest gear. And as for the source of my observation, you only have to read through some of the numerous posts on this forum, and other sites just like it, not to mention friends and family who approach me on a weekly basis wondering why they no longer are able to perform tasks on their computers that they once could.....
