It seems to me, that an upgrade
Means something completely different in the 21st century
It used to mean, I believe, something new & improved
However these days, it seems to me
That upgrade; means taking something that looks & works just fine
Moving everything around into much less useful positioning
Then breaking all functionality
Rendering what was one useful
Pretty much infuriating & useless.
