One thing I hate is when your reading something long and the stupid screensaver comes on...I guess I could fix that by turning it off, but it's too much trouble just to turn it off read one thing, then turn it back on, and I always forget anyway.

yeah, but in ten years of using computers, I can only remember once making a mistake and accidentally erasing something. Even then, I can still go to my backup.
It's like... warning messages for stupid people. At least give me the option of turning the warning off.
Even the PVR I just bought does it.
"Are you sure you want to erase that program?"
Yes!!! I'm sure I want to friggin erase it.. or I wouldn't have pushed the button for gods sake. ... just erase it!!!"

Like, who was the person who made it a law that every action on a computer had to have a reminder warning on it?
Some of us have enough intelligence to know what we're doing ya know.

Second on my list of pet peeves are messages telling me what I've already done... "you have just updated your list of MP3's... press ok to continue"
Arrghhh.... I know I just updated my list of MP3's because that's what I was just doing!!!"

It's like driving a car and turning left and some computer voice keeps saying "you have just made a left hand turn"... or getting into an elevator and pressing the third floor and a voice says "you have just selected the third floor, are you sure that's the floor you want to go to??"
