Alastair's Blog: You are (probably) not in the majority
http://aupton.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-are-probably-not-majority.html
Wednesday, 15 October 2008. You are (probably) not in the majority. Another case that comes to mind is the Linux versus other platform debate. What the majority of exponents don’t get is that it is not ready for less tech-savvy users. Even if there is a family member or friend to assist somebody non-technical users generally dislike learning something new and different. It is more configurable. It is not Microsoft (!

Wednesday, 15 October 2008. I attempted to have a conversation about the use of electricity versus just being able to nip around to the shop around the corner. I also mooted that it may have been more economical for his mother to store things in the freezer as she lived 20 miles away from the nearest supermarket. I also pointed out one fatal flaw in his plan for a roast chicken dinner – our oven did not work. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You are (probably) not in the majority. Google Cloud Storage...

Monday, 2 March 2009. Understanding ‘why’. Those of you with children will have experienced the ‘why’ stage of a child’s development.
