[quote=Anonymous]This reminds me of my father, a programmer, refusing to buy MS Office in the early '00s and forcing us to use Corel Office at home instead because he had an ideological bone to pick with Microsoft. This made us constantly have to convert file formats back and forth to save or use on school computers or send to the 95% of normal people that had MS Office, and I was less comfortable in using all the available program tools on MS Word and Excel and PowerPoint than my friends who had it at home and it limited me. I resented it. It didn't make me admire my dad's independent-mindedness, it made me think he was pointless and petty and couldn't pick his battles and was thoughtlessly making a stand on my back rather than his own. For the record, of course he's now the only one in our family with an Android, because that's him. No kid wants to be the one with the weird incompatible tech rooted in parental rigid dogma. [/quote]
