REALLY USEFUL SOFTWARE IDEAS
|
||
|
||
I know there's a ton of software out there wanting me to buy it, take it home
|
||
and make a place in my day-to-day life for it. Trouble is, I can't find the
|
||
time to sort all the software out. This country needs a software package
|
||
designed to sort out the attributes of all other software packages and recommend
|
||
the best--a kind of Consumer Reports software package. So maybe YOU can help me
|
||
I've got a want list (below) and all you have to do is zip over to our National
|
||
Satirist Feedback area and tell me what's hot in your closet.
|
||
|
||
Here are some of the kinds of software I need:
|
||
|
||
* Something to automatically dial radio station telephone numbers really fast
|
||
when they have those 'be the fifth caller and win $100' contests. (The program
|
||
should also scream incoherently when it wins.)
|
||
|
||
* Software that not only balances my checkbook but also just goes on ahead and
|
||
pays the bills and leaves me alone except, possibly, to ask for money.
|
||
|
||
* Programs that not only teach and entertain kids but also tell them when to
|
||
go to bed and take a bath.
|
||
|
||
* Car diagnostic software which would allow you to tell it what that funny
|
||
squeaking sound does to your nerves and then pinpoints the exact cause and an
|
||
estimate of the cost to fix the problem. A really good program of this kind
|
||
would also scream and complain to mechanics when they botch the job.
|
||
|
||
* Household repair software that would explain why you shouldn't repair the
|
||
roof this year.
|
||
|
||
* Menu software that would avoid suggesting pot roast more than three times a
|
||
month.
|
||
|
||
* Software that explains software. I'm tired of reading documentation which
|
||
only conveys the copyright and anti-piracy messages clearly. What we all need
|
||
is some software that reads other software's documentation and then just tells
|
||
us when to enter our name and address.
|
||
|
||
* Home computer gardening software that is willing to dig in that gooey muck
|
||
which was last year's failed garden.
|
||
|
||
Are you getting the picture? All I really want to do is live my life.
|
||
Software should be available to handle the details. Now, even though I have
|
||
this really powerful computer, I still have to enter boring digits and piecemeal
|
||
datums. It's all so mundane.
|
||
|
||
I don't want a McIntosh. Sure, it thinks pretty well for itself but it sure
|
||
doesn't think for ME. Come on, Jobs, get with it and start producing softwar
|
||
that will do its own babysitting.
|
||
|
||
And, perhaps, some moonlight babysitting for me, too.
