What should have been left well enough alone?

Cathy.C

Grammatical nightmare of a question to pose but what things do you think qualify as being fine as they were and that they should have left as it was biut in attempting to make it better, they made it worse?

For me it would be Laptop Trackpads.

They were grand, pinch and zoom, double tap controls, two finger scrolling, super stuff and then some idiot with feck all to do somewhere in Taiwan decides 'Hey, I know, lets slide the track pad buttons under the trackpad so instead of of pressing the buttons people can just press the corners of the trackpad!' and other idiots in the room listened to him and made these God forsaken things and now every time I need to left click, the laptop thinks (yes my laptop thinks) that I want to move the pointer. But of course it bloody thinks that. Why wouldn't it think that! Sure the trackpad button is covered in a trackpad!!

/Rant over.

What do you think qualifies as things which they should have well enough alone?

We could (and probably have) dedicate an entire thread to sweets, crisps and icepops from the past that have been destroyed.
I still haven't gotten over the loss of real Monster Munch. One of my defining memories from transition year in school (2000), when the tuck shop suddenly started selling the new version; there was a secret stash of old boxes for those in the know.
:

While Walkers took the name Monster Munch, Tayto still make them with the name Mighty Munch and other than the packaging, I don't think they taste any different than the original.

Not that I use it much anymore, but, Facebook should have been left well enough alone.

At one point it was fine, good even, very usable, great in it's simplicity. Then they kept adding features and they made a mess of it!

I agree with you totally now its a mess and horrible to use.

Star Trek. If you can,t do it right then leave it alone. Yes I am talking to you JJ Abrams and Paramount.

Tracey Chapman's 'Fast Car'. That new cover version is a crime against music.

Almost, but not quite, as horrific as Madonna's version of 'American Pie'.

The rule in football where the goalie could kick the ball from his hands. Packie Bonner had some kick. Hooft it into the othe goal almost. Get the team down the other end and drop in the ball and hope for the best.
Since they changed this rule Irelands success at international level has waned.

New "updated" versions of board games. They are shiit quality and less usable than they were back in the 80s.
Recently I was feeling nostalgic so I bought some games for my son (and for me!). Guess Who is crap, the little doors don't stay open or closed so small children make mistakes and then it's no fun.
Mastermind, the little pegs are loose so they fall out. And the colours aren't easy to distinguish in low light.
New Scrabble has made the squares on the board just slightly too big, and the board is slippier, so when you turn it, all the tiles slide around.

Yup that's one thing I'm thankful for - not having to wash my clothes (and sometimes my hair) after a night out cos I used to absolutely reek of cigarette smoke back in the day!! Oh and I'm pretty sure my lungs are thankful too
