I used to feel like that about cars until one day I looked under the bonnet and
said. "Yes, there is an engine there" and quickly closed the thing. :)

I remember seeing an interview with someone way high up in Microsoft
(Gates?) being asked "what's your biggest mistake?" and the person answered
"Besides Windows ME?"

It seems so. After some physics and astronomy posts around here a while
back, I felt tempted to go to alt.astronomy. What I found was not so
much topis about astronomy and hard science, but instead an effluvia of
paranoia, religious fanatics shouting about
yet-more-end-of-the-world-is-near and nazi/jewish conspiracies.
It's a truly insane zoo in there. Never found anything similar anywhere...
BTW, that's a webcomics's site and humor permeates it all over, obviously.

Microsoft Bob was a good idea plagued by implementation problems (the
fact that it was implemented being the problem :) ).
