I feel in the early 2000’s you had to be a lot more tech-savy to know how your computer worked and how to get it to do what you wanted it to do. With the way current OS’s are set up, they try to do everything for the end user and not tell him what’s going on. There may be nerds back in Redmond or Cuptertino (or to be more honest, in Bangalore) who know what’s up; but that does little to help the guy pressing keys in the office.

Like having to "bless" your System folder on your Mac?
