    The experience depends entirely on which shop you go to, how much space there is for your trolley, which model of self-checkout you encounter, how well the touch screen is calibrated and cleaned, which software version is installed and when the last time was that maintenance was done on it, not to mention what state the previous user left it

    In other words, it’s a stressful and moving feast that many, myself included, absolutely detest.







  • I moved to Linux over 25 years ago and I miss absolutely nothing.

    The joy of not having to update your OS when Microsoft forces it, even whilst you’re working, or the way Apple still cannot do window tiling despite decades of examples on how to achieve this, or installing applications and finding files splattered all over the file system with no way to remove them except manually, or the endless user agreements, licence fees, expiring licensees, or the notion that you cannot run a new OS on an old machine that’s in perfect working order.

    So, no, it was the best decision I’ve made.

    I wish that I’d made the same good decision when it comes to my accounting software.
