Whose Computer Is It?

When I spent $2,200 two weeks ago for a Sony Vaio SZ laptop, I thought I was buying something I’d own — something that would be mine. That, apparently, was not Sony’s view of our transaction.

Sony had presold my desktop — my $2,200 desktop — to a bunch of companies which loaded it with craplets.

So, this really pissed me off. It took hours to clear away all this junk.

The experience moved me to write a column about these “craplets.”
