Yes, but I don't expect my 20 year old daughter to jump in my Ferrari and drive it safely either. She drives the Honda Civic, and after she's got some experience under her belt and has gone to driving school *then* I'll consider giving her the keys to the Ferrari. I'd rather have an inexperienced user behind a PFW any day than expect them to understand and *properly* implement NAT *and* a firewall. I'd rather have them introduced to the concept of security in a way that they understand than to shove it down their throats with technology they don't comprehend and can't possibly use correctly.
