Everyone copied the Selectric keyboard layout, making it "standard" --
then IBM changed it for the PC. I remember someone sarcastically saying,
"We're IBM; we can do anything!"
Now Microsoft does it. My company upgraded Microsoft Office and now I
can't figure out how to do things that were easy to do not long ago.
I must reluctantly admit that Microsoft crashes, although still way too
common, have decreased noticeably in their frequency.
