Not long ago I had a thought during a long walk in the country.

Using a PC should be simpler, instead of spending my hard earned money on a flashy digital camera, why isn’t there a program where I can just paint it? So I told Microsoft and look at this!

Happy Paint Picture

Windows 7, with a Paint program! Now I don’t need a camera, I can just paint a picture! It’s far more personal and accurately depicts my day!

Minesweeper

That evening, I had an even better idea. Using a PC should frustrate, confuse and annoy you. Why isn’t there a game that can be played by millions, makes zero fucking sense and can be won or lost by clicking frantically at a screen? So, I told Microsoft, and look at this!

Windows 7, with Minesweeper! Now can I confuse myself all day long! I told them what to do, and they did it. I could really get used to this.

I’m un-PC, and Windows 7 was my fucking idea.
