Whenever I read about how hard it was to do things in the past — program, edit movies, typeset books, make butter — I'm amazed they even bothered! What tasks that we do today will seem shockingly tedious and hard in a few decades? Well

I used to boycott TurboTax because of this. But then I realized that Intuit is just playing the game. Why wouldn't they do everything they can to sustain their business (well, a sense of moral decency, I guess, but that's a big as
