I know of several Mac users in my area who wouldn't >even know where to *find* the system file or that it even exists. At some point, we start doing a disservice to "users less technical than ourselves" by not encouraging them to acquire some level of knowledge about such "technical" things as the fact that there is a system and where it is. Perhaps fear of virus infection can provide the needed motivation to empower these users by putting a little bit of knowledge in their hands. In the long run, it'll make them better, certainly more independent, computer users (IMHO). Sherman Wilcox University of New Mexico Dept. of Linguistics
