I'm thinking VWs are sort of like Macs. And Macs, we determined in high school, are not user-friendly so much as they are user-happy.

I mean, does it help the not-bootingness of my suitmate Sarah's Mac to see a little frowny-Mac-face on the screen? No. Does it make me feel particularly befriended? Not really. Do I laugh? You betcha.

See the one button mouse vs. two button mouse debate. The absence of extra mouse buttons is not really about friendship. Obviously, when most people have five fingers per hand, using two of them, not even at the same time, is not excessively confusing. (If anything, holding down a key with the other hand while clicking mouse with the first is more so.) It's about making me laugh. No, I mean it's about Mac user-happy holistic design philosophy. Well, maybe both.

In sum, your VW should have happy faces and flowers on the plastic covers. I mean, what are you doing under the hood anyway, it should just work, right?

Yeah. That sounds about right.
