  Many can.  The original IBM PC version was a an
abortion. 
It was way worse than that.
Calling it "an abortion" is an affront to those who are Pro-Choice.

I always miss that association..  But maybe the words atrocity, fubar
and low grade hack get closer to how I feel.

Never did feel the PC was good design, though I've held it up
as an example of a bad design made to work passibly.
