The fix is: go out and buy a brand new PC, pre-assembled, pre-installed,
with a windows office package, such as word, excel etc. And don't even
think about being an expert. Just use it. Don't upgrade, don't do any
maintenance, don't defrag, don't be smart. Use it. After 4 years, ditch
the darn thing, including *everything* (including application software)
that came with it, and start all over again.

But you never tried that, did you?

I see that it now has spreaded to cars. In my neighbourhood most cars
are pretty new. Perhaps 3-4 years on average. I never see any tow trucks
here, expect once or twice for the damned Porsche that belongs to my
wife.
