You should not have to spend a disproportionate amount of time maintaining a tool so it continues to function properly

"Oh no, with the right maintenance it's a good hammer, really - you just have to glue the head back on occasionally"

I want to use my machine for useful stuff,
not fight with it to keep it from constantly falling over
Really? It's that difficult for you to run CCleaner and defrag your hard drive once a month?
