Because you know your software is usable when it's described as a huge, mysterious old house with lots of long halls, secret bookcases, dark closets and creaky doors that, when you peer behind them, reveal wonderful secrets.

You are sitting in front of a computer. There is an icon on the desktop.

>Make chart.

Can't do that now.

>Launch OpenOffice

You are magically transported from the chair, though the monitor, to the other side, a huge, mysterious old house with lots of long halls, secret bookcases, dark closets and creaky doors. It is getting very dark. You could be eaten by a grue.

>Light lantern. Make chart.

Wow

I saw this movie. You're going to die horribly.

And since you're a /. user, you're going to die a virgin.

Being a hardcore Microsoft Office user, I thought there was a Myst-simulator in OpenOffice a la the flight simulator in Excel. Thank you for bashing my dreams.
