Computers can never quite be cajoled into doing what they’re supposed to, seemingly unable to bend to the will of their masters. Imagine my surprise in the following scenario:
I board the train to London with 30 seconds to spare, thus unable to pick up a copy of Private Eye (a habitual pleasure). Instead I launch iBooks on my phone, and find that my copy of ‘Steve Jobs’ is open at the same page I had reached on my iPad the previous evening. Computers aren’t supposed to be helpful like this!
I always have time to be delighted in this world.
