Yes, that is true. Computers went from exotic technology to common place tools in the past 20 or so years. A woman I dated briefly back then asked if she needed to learn how computers work. As she is not technical, I said no. She thinks that is funny now because she has a home PC that she uses fairly often (but still hasn't a clue about how they work).
Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- Off topic or not? Twenty years ago, I could only get books about computers at one special store. Today every mall bookstore has lots of books about computers. Twenty years ago, computers were an exotic topic of technical contemplation. Today legislators pass laws all the time that control how we use computers. So the on-topic point is that these things matter. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
