A designer rails against PowerPoint. A bee lands upon a flower petal. A withered tree falls alone in a vast forest.
Two of these have constructive consequences. The bee facilitates the flower’s pollenation. The tree will eventually decompose and enrich the soil. But the designer, despite staying late at work to learn, through trial and error, that Microsoft Office 2003 for Windows ships with a bug rendering it completely unable to read Mac-authored PowerPoint files, will never be heard by Microsoft.
