★ Customizing my new Alienware PC. I give up.

Steve Jobs, “The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their products.

These two photos really capture just how terrible the experience is when someone tries to buy an Alienware PC (now a part of Dell). Alienware was a company that made PCs that were incredible.

Yes, Microsoft Office is considered an addon that “Adjusts Performance” and after spending over an hour deciding what wallpaper to choose for my new PC, I got overwhelmed and gave up. Wallpaper is a HUGE choice! There’s nothing about this PC to actually customize except for wallpaper and what kind of keyboard you want. This is Alienware we’re talking about. Oh well.
