I do not know the origin or author for that matter of this story, but it’s well worth the read.

My three year old son had a lot of problems with potty training; and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course, I checked my seven month old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Matt had not asked to go potty in a while, ! So I asked him and he said, “No.” I kept thinking, “Oh Lord, that child has had an accident and I didn’t have any clean clothes with me.” Then I said, “Matt are you sure you did not have an accident?” “No,” he replied. I just knew that he must have, because the smell was getting worse. Sooooo…. I asked one more time, “Matt, did you have an accident?” Matt jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled…. “SEE, MOM, IT’S JUST FARTS!!!” While 100 people nearly choked to death on their tacos, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down to eat his food as if nothing had happened. I was mortified! Some kind elderly people made me feel a lot better, when they came over and thanked me for the best laugh they had ever had!!! Another old gentleman stopped us in the parking lot as we were leaving, bent over to my son and said, “Don’t worry son, my wife accuses me of the same thing all the time.. I just never had the nerve to make the point like you did.

I found this awesome article talking all about why Windows still sucks and why people put up with it all. I don’t agree with it 100% but it has it’s true points. The part I disagree with is the fact that you can avoid all the nightmare. It just takes common sense and little experience with some tweaking. However I agree it is a lot of work and hassle in comparison to really any other OS. Anyways I could go on and on with this topic. Just give this article a read, Why Does Windows Still Suck? by Mark Morford, SF Gate columnist.
