Would you hire a person who can't type to be a typist? Or would you hire a person who can't drive to be a driver? No? Neither should you hire the computer-illiterate to use computers. I cannot imagine that an employee who opens virus-laden attachments is a profitable employee.

Somewhat of a bad analogy. You might hire a driver who couldn't rebuild an engine.

Wrong on that count. Most salespeople are computer illiterate yet they make tones of cash for the company. At least this is the case in my experience (11 years).

And on that "profitable employee" note if my business required employees use computers, and I found out they spent ANY of MY time on Freerepublic or anything else not business related they'd be fired....no matter how "computer literate" they are...
