Machines aren't programmed to 'complain' when something goes wrong, they are programmed to *request outside intervention*. This doesn't apply to people, though. If you tell someone your day sucked etc, you somehow feel better (While the other person feels worse more often than not). Personally, I feel no incline to share good news, unlike a girl I know, who can't help having it. Our reasons to share information fall into a completely different category than that of machines.

It's just, i've recently realised that alot of people would like to hear more about when things go wrong for you, than right. I tend to focus more on the things that go right than wrong.

(And a Refresh button too.) So many people are like icebergs...two-thirds hidden below the surface, and running into them can be a painful experience.

That button seems to have more in common with the spiral galaxy thing with arms in 'Excel Saga' than with the big red button on the Mega Maid in 'Spaceballs'. Trouble with 'resetting' this 'real' world is it would probably kernel panic or blue-screen-of-death if we did...
