save for effort

Aye, there's the rub.



To me, it seems like the easiest thing in the world go to the the Pirate Bay, look something up, click "Get this torrent" and wait ten minutes or so for it to show up.

Then I tried teaching someone who's not tech savvy to do it. She didn't have adblock, so she was confused by the Russian wives for sale and by the multiple Download buttons. She was deeply suspicious of having to download uTorrent and completely lost as to how to choose which of several available torrents she should pick.

I don't know. I try to use Netflix on someone's Xbox and have the exact same problem. How the hell am I supposed to navigate with a joystick? Is it A or B to select? How do I go back?

Maybe we're all just getting old.
