I have NEVER understood the insistent need to bash the average computer users intelligence. Computers are not that difficult to work with and people (any age) generally are not that stupid.
True, and those who will continually look for the “any” key when instructed to push any key. Many people are point-and-click users, having no clue about computer basics.
Actually, as a computer consultant for the last 30 years, I could tell some tales…doing telephone support in the days of 5 1/2 inch floppy drives and I told a woman to put the disk in the drive and close the door…and I hear her walk across the room and close the office door. The time I got a call from an office I had just left and was told the boot disk I had just made for her didn’t work…got there and it was stuck to the file cabinet with a magnet. The time I had to fly from Phoenix to San Diego because a printer had “failed.” I put paper in it. The time I told a client to copy a disk and she put it on the Xerox copier.

I’m still waiting for the escape key to work. There are times that I really wish it did.

You have to know the fine details of your hardware. This always happens when you try to use a 2.4 ghz mouse/keyboard with the Bluetooth adapter.

Say TSR, couldn’t you have drawn Dana with more of her clothes blown off? ;-)

Clearly, the machines heard about the strike going on at the R.U. Sirius (see Brewster Rockit), and decided to declare a revolution of their own.
