I'm tired of the "Swiss Army Knife" approach to products nowadays. Manufacturers try to make every product do everything and as a result they seem to be overly complicated and not as good as they might have been if their scope of features was much narrower.

The phone we had when I was growing up could not take pictures or video. It wouldn't fit in my pocket or allow me to play games on it. The calendar was made of paper and attached to the wall ABOVE the phone. The address book was kept in the drawer underneath the phone. Nobody ever had to read a friggin' 200 page book to be able to use it either! Or down load constant software upgrades that ended up hosing things up.

Signed,
Ned Ludd
