Remember moving your cursor through menu options in an NES game? (or using a 8-bit word processor?) Computers should be like that. Consumers shouldn't accept anything else. Responsive interfaces allow users to develop muscle memory. I used to type in complicated sequences of commands into my commodore 64 to perform common actions. (wow, I didn't know I wanted a $HOME with some scripts in it. Now I know!) When I'd make a typo in one of those sequences, it would commonly be quicker for me to reset the machine and start from the top. If I performed the same action twice (with a reset inbetween) and got a different result, I could logically conclude that I had a hardware problem. (Not every HW problem is permanent. Heat and grounding problems can both be fixed, unless some threshold is crossed...) Anyway, I figure that Wintel denied grandma that kind of computer because they learned from the hobbyists that neophyte users with quality hardware+software will exceed the creators in skill in less time than it takes to design the next gen rig--and a couple genius users will start building their own out of impatience! There's no profit in quality hardware+software combinations.
