"Since when did computers become so infallible such that the customer is always wrong? "
Since companies (ALL, including yours and mine) advertise that they have the solutions to people's problems (for less money than you would think!). If the truth about programming bugs and incomplete features, operating system bugs, hardware bugs and network bugs was brought into the full light of day almost no one would buy a product (for the money asked). How many licenses, in the small type, admit that the product is not warranted to be fit for any use? Most. All advertising is a lie and people have been manipulated by that advertising to the point of believing it. (Yes I have examples, as you do, but this post is already too long :) )
