I don't think that experience is necessarily the crucial variable here... Perhaps the real "distinction" (though, again, I'm not trying to be exclusive) we're trying to get at here is between "geeks", or those of us who dig computers for computers sake and would have one to play with even if there was nothing in particular they needed to do with it, and "users", or those of us to whom a computer is merely a tool to get stuff done. Does that sound right? > --R --S _______________________________________________ Fwlug mailing list [email protected] http://fortwaynelug.org/mailman/listinfo/fwlug_fortwaynelug.org
