Precisely. This is akin to my dad, back in 1995, telling me to stop moving the mouse cursor in MS Paint because the computer was "thinking" (he heard the HDD buzzing). That I can understand.

But surely we can expect more from people here than from a carpenter in a tiny mountain village who bought his son a computer in the 90s. (The second one in town!)
