I content that it was more a philosophical thing. Like, if you tried to 
use something and it didn't quite work right, you threw it away and used 
something else that /did/ work perfectly 100% of the time. If your 
computer randomly malfunctioned from time to time, you would damned well 
go find out /why/. Because, you know, this kind of thing /isn't normal/.

Today the populous has somehow been convinced that it /is/ perfectly 
normal and /acceptable/ for computers to not work right. Given such an 
attitude, what incentive is there for software writers to bother fixing 
their stuff?
