That's the problem with any computing technology - or anything, for that
matter.

If it works too well, it fails to make the consciousness.  When it does fall
over, it's a catastrophe.  But if it goes down constantly, then that's just
part and parcel of having it and everyone believes that's the way things
are.

If you're employed to herd these things, on the other hand, if it just works
then you're not working hard enough and so must be downsized...

No, it's when they try and play solitaire on the thing that it causes
problems.  (true story).

I have considered this, but the pain of working MS is not worth the extra
employment.
