1. Microwave controls
We just want to heat up our soup and defrost a few chops.
Can we have a microwave with a “Heat Soup” button and a “Defrost Chops” button, and no other buttons or controls? Thanks.
Oh and while we’re at it, can we sort this out?
2. Using printers

8. USB sticks
There must be an easier way.
