Should operating a digital system such as windows be considered an artform in itself?

[Naer]

I move the cursor and press the keys on my pc keyboard as if i was performing on stage, nimble and with much bravado. I think it might as well become be seen as an artform. Pc's have become so fast that imo the ratio between required efficiency for task and general output has tipped the average user to explore expressing them mechanical input with and style rather than a venture to complete certain task in a monotonous fashion

thoughts?

It's a skill. It's not an art unless someone wants to see it performed.

Now if you can actually arrange a performance, you have a good argument for it being art.

Every time I make a post on Anandtech, what you are reading is the end result of a man expelling a paint enema onto his laptop positioned on a blank canvas, then hitting 'Post Reply'.

Your PC is fast despite the (bloated and buggy) operating system.

I remember trying Windows 3.1 on a Pentium 200mhz system and it flew!

The key is to run an O/S on a PC that's faster than the O/S designers could possibly imagine when they designed the O/S.
