How do people keep from suicide when they've been diagnosed with something like Alzheimer's disease or similar?

The problem with learning about computers is that there is NOBODY to call on the phone who will provide answers to simple questions. Unless you hire a genuinely knowledgeable person to teach you, which is prohibitively expensive, your only recourse is to post a question to an on-line "community" of supposedly knowledgeable people, who are almost always idiots, either totally ignorant, or full of misinformation. (Like the people on Yahoo Answers, for instance.) The problem is compounded because computers and computer programs are not reliable, and when any of their millions of component parts are not working right, you often can't tell whether the problem is some mistake that you are making, or some glitch in the machine.

And in addition, the geeks whose job it is to create teaching materials to explain computers to computer users are completely incompetent. For example: When I bought my first computer a few years ago, there was no manual of any kind included with the machine. Only a single piece of paper, with no words on it, but only a drawing showing a disk and a big arrow pointing from the disk to a picture of the computer.

It took me half the afternoon to figure out that there was a secret tray concealed in the computer which could be made to appear if a certain area of the face of the computer was touched in a certain way. When I put the disk into the tray, the tray then disappeared again into the machine, but nothing happened. It took me the REST of the afternoon to figure out that there are two ways to put the disk into the tray, and the computer will not tell you if you have put the disk in upside down.

There are millions of engineers working in the computer design industry. How come NOT ONE OF THEM ever realized that such a design is idiotic?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
