Yep, and there are those ready to sell their souls to make money, ready to
sacrifice anything, even their integrity, and use and even come to
appreciate so many inferior products, the worst of all being the Windows
line of bloatware, without thinking about anything, but "getting the job
done".
Hey, people, if that was the way to do, we would all be driving the same
model of car, probably a Yugo or a Lada (and old Fiat model sold by
Russians), we would all live in small apartments, drinking Pbast Ribbon or
some bad "piquette", since all of those are "getting the job done".
Stop thinking like lemmings! Try to find some meaning to your life, for
god's sake!
