Back in the 1980s, my roommate and I were both electronics technicians, I had been working for the space program until a few months earlier, and she had been working for a cable television company. She bought a brand new PC (I had an Apple IIe). We unpacked it, set it up, and clicked on an icon. It highlighted. How to open the file? It took us four hours to figure out that we needed to double-click – and how fast to double-click. One line in the middle of one of the manuals mentioned it. This was at the start of home computing. Things have NOT gotten better.

Don’t give her that look. You had to learn that first, too. That you don’t remember it doesn’t change anything.

it usually gets turned on if you dance seductively in front of it
