" then there's 'feature burnout', a new phenomenon i just heard of,
" apparently most prevalent among the college-age crowd.  lotsa dongles
" and blinkenlights sound really atractive in the store, but when you
" get the **** thing home you wish it would -just-play-music- or
" whatever its main purpose is.  want a mouse pad with clock,
" calculator, etc built in?  so complicated you need an owner's manual
" for a friggin' -mouse-pad-?!?  there is such a beast.

replying to myself is really bad...

heard recently that half of all electronics returned as 'defective'
were fine.  the buyers just couldn't figure out how to make them work.

i guess there's no budget for human-factors engineering in consumer
products...
