Acomputer is nothing but a tool. It’s bigger than a hammer (well, most
hammers), heavier than a screwdriver, and generally less noisy than a cir-
cular saw — but is nonetheless a tool. You can do more stuff with a computer
than you can with a hammer and a screwdriver, but hammers and screwdrivers
are simpler to use and easier to clean up. (Circular saws are another story;
things can get messy really fast.)
Your computer does get messy; have no doubt about it. Programs load and
unload, files pop into existence and then slither off to unknown parts of your
hard drive, and spyware tries to adhere itself to your operating system. Every
day your system changes, as information is added and new demands are
placed on old programs...
