Me too. This is why I own a Mac (and soon an iPod).

I have always liked and enjoyed the terms "invisible computing" or "invisible interface" - something that is a fluid extention of the task at hand and works into the existing scenario without breaking the flow. Too deep? ... perhaps :)

Joshua - I own an iPOD and its great! Transfer of songs seems to work faster on OS X. Love the dial that controls the menu system and the volume. Apple do user experience for the most part very, very well and can see them making more in roads into 'home' experience over the next 5 years - Cameras, TVs etc

I don't enjoy using technology. I enjoy doing.

I enjoy playing Allied Assault. I don't enjoy a computer console with a large vibrant display.

I enjoy listening to music. I don't using a compact digital music player.

I enjoy playing soccer. I don't enjoy admiring the crisp edges of the recently cut grass.

That's a good point, Anonymous, but sometimes technology is a joy to use. Like the iPod. Also, Allied Assault looks better on a nice display, so that really can be enjoyed. But, for the most part, the things we enjoy doing are where we get our joy, not the things that allow us to do them.
