Remember there are millions of AOL Losers er I mean Users that have no idea how to do anything beyond pointing and clicking in thier browser and almost peeing themselves in excitement when they hear "you've got mail"

And it is not just point and clickers. My wife is a nurse and the Doctor that she works for (a brilliant man in many respects) has absolutely no clue how to use his home PC. I have worked on his computer for him so many times I could almost qualify as an employee.

I worked on a computer savvy user's computer once, he couldn't figure out why the 2 GHz machine was running slow. I ran a virus scan on it and found 300 viruses, worms and trojan horses running in the background. Got rid of them all and the computer was running like it had the very first day.

Switch them all Linux LiveCDs. Then they'll never be able to screw anything up.

Surprising how many people are looking into it. Especially with memory-key support for documents and personal settings or to boot an entire system from.

It has a certain attraction. We're all about fed up with Winblows and all the virusing and updating.

LiveCDs with memory-key support let you carry your own computer environment anywhere. Virus and hacker proof.

yes. and i work for a "brilliant" inventor that is so absent minded he would need help shutting down his own computer (a virtual goldmine for us "outsourced to india" techs)

I once worked on a girlfriend's computer that had AOHell installed. New HD, the whole bit. Many driver conflicts. 9 hours of work. Our relationship ended weeks later.

Now I'm a different man. If a woman asks me to fix her computer and she has AOHell installed, she makes a deposit consisting of a dinner and a full night in bed before I touch anything! LOL!
