Anything else makes that one synapse happening in their skull hurt immensely. Perfect examples...my 79 year old mother. She thinks she's smarter than most anyone on the planet and will literally tell you so. Yet when I tell her how to use her e-mail program (the one that comes bundled with SeaMonkey...I've got her using Linux for the past 5 years) 'better', she complains that she's too old to remember anything like that yet will turn around ten minutes later and tell me how I should fix someones setup to a new printer - when I ask her how I should do it I get a blank stare and crickets chirping and I nod my head and ignore her. My best friend who is 47, refuses to learn how to use an e-mail client at all, claiming it's too complicated and will instead just do everything through the google website client for his account. He too though is the kind who will tell you all kinds of things that he'll get PO'd at you for doubting him about until you show him proof he's wrong...just don't ever expect an apology from either of the two examples I just mentioned. It's sad and disheartening. Years ago when it was Microslop 2000 and older OS's on most systems, I was the person in my town who made housecalls to fix peoples' computers. I can honestly say that in the 3 years I did that, I swear by all the gods, that at *least* 75% of the people that I called 'customers' should not have owned a computer at all, ever. I had over 300 'customers', so do the math. -- Huh, funny how Homeland Security rhymes with Gestapo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
