This comment worries me a lot (mind you, it's
typical of the mentality of
PC-goons, but I thought this list was mostly hackers)...
Whenever something doesn't work, my first reaction
is to fix it. And the
first stage in fixing a problem is to identify what that problem is (at
whatever level of detail is necessary to be able to decide on the right
repair).
I have limited patience with some kind of hardware. Mending PCs is not a hobby
of mine, and if it is the most common platform at the moment, I'll just assume
that that's because it's such a nice and easy to use platform. There is so
much to blame everything on in the PC world, but that's not my problem. It
should at least work as fluently as any other platform.
In short, I don't think some systems are deserving of my undivided attention.
I'll rather go soldering on my Atari ethernet adapter or my C64 AV cable than
fool around with so-called modern hardware which misbehaves.
