Ex-actly!!!
hui, herman der user gibts noch?
den kenn ich noch aus dem guten alten "amiga magazin" anno 1992 ;)
LOL! Not far from the truth.
I agree completely. I would like to have somewhere a list of all products which were good before too many features were installed.
The funny thing, it applies to software as well as hardware. Since companies are only optimising based on the buying decision, instead of concentrating on things like long-term use, we get glitzy, useless functionalities. A really good example are mobiles, and one I like as well is car CD Players. The only one which are ergonomically sensible (no flashy lights, two knobs, five buttons) are the ones which are set up by the manufacturers. Impossible to buy a normal one. Or did you notice how quicktime or realplayer (which were neat, clean little utilities at one time) have become these huge "connect-to-our-portal-and-you-will-never-need-anything-else" monsters.
Or am I being reactionary and old-fashioned?
Stan, Ben and Andrew, you amaze me.
Was war eigentlich die diesjährige Cebit-Sensation?
irgendwie ist mir kaum etwas (dank/trotz Kurzurlaubs) aufgefallen

Years ago I somewhere read a great summary saying, that in its history Microsoft released two really great products: the mouse and DOS 5.0 - I'd go along with that :-)
no ... no MS bashing, but DOS 5.0 was great, simple, fast, reliable ... and, yes, was missing a lot of stuff we are very used to today.
