Does it bother you when hardware doesn’t behave the way it is supposed to? I recently bought a new Bluetooth dongle to use with my laptop, and this relatively simple task turned into the subject of a rant. Just once, I’d like to buy a chunk of hardware that either

• just worked without any installation at all, or barring that miracle…
• installed in just the way the manual says it does.

I’m looking at you, Dlink. Should I really have to do all this when your silly drivers don’t install like they are supposed to?
