Bright Hub author Arvind Arora starts his article "Three Performance Tools Your PC Would Love to Have" with this phrase:
"Machines are, after all, meant to be our slaves, as good and obedient as possible."
He goes on to talk about optimization utilities and performance tips, but I found that first sentence thought-provoking. How many times, I wondered, do we find ourselves slave to the machine, instead of its master? It certainly can seem that way when updates just won't install or drivers crashing cause us to spend hours searching forums and manufacturer's websites on the Internet.
The other argument is, "It's a poor craftsmen who blames his tools."
No, I don't think that's the same thing at all.
