You just proved my point. Calling it “geeky” means that one is either too lazy or too dumb to figure it out. But thus is our society these days...would rather have everything given to us than try to figure out how to improve on something and make it better. You all fit quite nicely into our little nanny state.

No, it is GEEKY... but I have better uses for my time and my brain than spending it kowtowing to the foibles of another gadget to make it work right. I've been there and done that... and so have many others. When I was younger, I had the time to devote to it. Now, my time is much more valuable to me. I have little patience for a company that makes me be the beta tester for their poorly designed operating systems. At least with Windows in the past the customers PAID me to fix its foibles and clean up its messes. Android users don't like to pay for anything... even their apps.

When you grow up, you'll sing a different song...

Most of us adults have better things to do with our time than to muck with something we've bought -- trying to make it do what we paid for.
