Exactly.
This "borg" thinks that everyone should be as geeky as him and actually writes this piece insulting over 90% of computer users. Why?
Because, like me, he thinks computers are a complex tool that should require training to use. It's like giving a novice a TIG welder and some metal, then buying the first car he produces.
Computers are not toys, as much as most people want to see them that way.
Sorry, but, for me, my computer is a fancy typewriter, a videogame player, and a method to access the internet. In short, it's a reasonalby expensive toy.
I did my time using DOS, and tweaking those commands to allow me to play each specific game, which required special audio and video and memory settings to do so. Windows may not be the geeks favorite program but, for the most part, it works with the games that I want to play and functions as a word processing program (typewriter) and lets me access the internet.
My attitude towards computers can best be described using a scene from KELLY'S HEROES. The command tank is disabled and when Oddball is asked by Kelly why he isn't helping to fix the tank his response is:
Oh, man, I just ride in 'em. I don't know what makes 'em work.
My attitude exactly.
Just curious: do you consider yourself smart?
