"Ubuntu Shock"

I'm having "Ubuntu Shock".

I had a file I wanted printed and saw a printer sitting here under a desk. So I turned it on, plugged it into my laptop's USB port and selected "install new printer" from the system admin menu. Ubuntu told me it could see an HP 950 printer and asked if I wanted to set it up as a local printer. I glanced over, and sure enough the printer had HP 950 written on the front. So I clicked "yes". Back to Adobe acrobat and click print and... out comes the paper.

*gasp*

Earlier today my girlfriend brought an MP3 player. I plugged it into my laptop and, just like magic, up popped a little icon of an MP3 player on my desktop. Simple as that.

*gasp*

I'm sure Linux is not supposed to be this easy. At this rate I'm going to have to start using GNU Hurd in order to get my nerd cred back.
