What's your "old person" trait? (feddit.ch)

My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

  1. When I turn on a computer, it should be ready (and pref say READY) in a few seconds, not minutes and need Internet access.

As someone who's been computer bound for the last 30 years it was a big shock that when I recently dropped a hefty sum on my latest pc with all the top of the line processor, gpu, cooling, and more memory and power than I've ever had at my fingertips... and it takes 3 and a half minutes longer to load than my last one and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge causing bsod shutdowns.
