Computers! Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em!
Don’t computers drive you mad! Just when you rely on one totally to send email; pay bills; order goods for work, then it goes and packs up, or locks up or something! Mine here at work, the one I update our website with, and correspond with customers on, suddenly decided that it didn’t want to use my Firefox browser any more! I hadn’t changed anything or messed about with it, it just decided it would stop working! Now, like most normal people, I’m used to simple things. When we make your stone fireplace, we cut a block of stone to roughly the size you want, and then carve it into the finished article that you’ve ordered. There are rarely any inexplicable problems. If the saws don’t work, it’e easy to find out why, and there is very little that stops us getting our stone fireplaces made.
Computers however seem to have minds of their own. They do one thing for hundred times, then for no reason, decide they’ll not do it again. They let you rely on them, and then lock up so you can’t even access them to try and solve the problem. I love what they do to simplify my work, but hate them when they go wrong.
It’s no wonder you have all those videos on Utube, showing angry people smashing them up because they’ve ceased to function at a critical moment.
Fortunately stone masonry isn’t like that, and in fact the simple act of shaping a stone block into your stone fireplace is positively therapeutic when compared with dealing with an obstinate PC.
