Me hating Radio.

I've reached that critical intercept on the "Happy With Radio" graph where the diminishing productivity curve meets the increasing problem curve. Rather than ranting about it, I leave you with the insightful comments of a few other victims of technology.

"When PCs run new applications successfully, most people feel relief and almost pathetic gratitude - a standard of reliability tolerated in no other consumer product. " - Source Unknown

"There is only one satisfying way to boot a computer." - J.H. Goldfuss

"While modern technology has given people powerful new communication tools, it apparently can do nothing to alter the fact that many people have nothing useful to say." - Lee Gomes

"Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other."  - C. P. Snow
