    It's an engineer's and a lazy journalists' wet dream. It's no coincidence that this question is always asked by people from outside the industry.

    Just sitting there , not doing anything would be about one of the hardest things it can think of ! Then expect me to save the computers butt when it goofs ? After I been sitting 6 or 7 hours , expect me to be napping. If I am going to be responsible, let me drive .
