    That's because the default color scheme is white on black. Just change it and Poof! Blue magic, red magic, yellow magic... so many possibilities!

      Give someone bash, and they'll shell for a day. Teach them fish and they'll shell for the rest of their lives.

          Mine was convinced that cell phones and landlines were two different networks. Like you couldn't call a landline from a cell and vice versa. This went on for decades, even after we infront of her proved it worked.

              My wife calls it “the app with lots of text”. She’s very beautiful.

              At least she even comments. Mine just waves her hand in disgust. She knows it enables her whole technological life, but couldn't give a shit.

                  Do be fair that took me longer than installing the operating system too.

                      One of my favorite comparisons is computing to magic. They say that sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

                      A lot of people have a hard time drawing that comparison, but if you tell them that there are very special, rare silica rocks that you can only find in specific places on earth, and that if you inscribe one of these rocks with billions of tiny transistors runes and then power infuse the rock with electricity lightning you can actually make trick the rock into a processor thinking, and that this now let's you create software incantations which explain to the processor thinking rock how to execute a program do specific things for you, then they begin to see why.
