There it is, folks, right there^. It is summed up nicely in one short, concise paragraph. You got really good grades in English class didn't you, Dan? The typical stereotype of Mac users being dumb and not wanting to learn anything. Get bent. Mac users are not like that. While we're on the subject of stereotypes... damn all these niggers stealing all my stuff, of course the Germans will take care of them, I need a good acountant, know of any good Jews? Damn Mexicans, coming here and taking all the jobs. Damn Japs, buying up all our property. Damn whites, so oppressive you know. There, I think we've exhausted enough of those. Just because it's easy to use doesn't mean you have to be ignorant to use it. Actually you'd be ignorant not to use it. You spend less time troubleshooting and more time being productive. And you can learn all you want about it. Not have to read the whole manual (or man pages) in order to be productive. -- Hotel California, Not the stereotypical 16 y/o hotelca@cris.com P.S. everything in my first paragraph after the elipsis (...) are not my opinions but those of narrow minded, bigoted individuals. Sorry if it offended anyone. "Dan Pop, the Archie Bunker of the computer set." Yes I know it'll probably start a flame war, so?
