Oh yes they are... I work with a group of help desk people for an 
Internet Service provider and some of the questions really make you think 
that these people shouldn't have computers at all, let alone something

"I attempted to install netscape from your disk and I got a hard disk

harddrive when I joined, I want my money back."

This is a REAL example.
