What's wrong with this picture?

Consider the following:


I'm moving one (1) item.

It took probably 10 seconds. First it had to "calculate time remaining" -- which of course took more time than the actual operation itself.

Imagine it happening while you're driving:

"Okay, car, I'm gonna make a left turn here."
"A'right, one sec -- lemme calculate the gas mileage for this turn."
"I don't need the mileage -- I need to turn. Right now. Why won't the wheel move? I'm missing my turn!"
"Hold on, hold on, I almost have it."
"Nevermind. I missed my turn."
"Well, the application of the brakes and the subsequent acceleration was gonna cost you an extra .08 cents, so it's probably for the best."

Vista sucks,
Randy
