I agree, i don't think Fernando belittled anyone in his post. The sad fact is that it's easier to tell someone "reboot" than to walk them through a GUI or a command line, regardless of the OS. For most people, a computer is an appliance -- a tool to get a job done. I don't care how my car works. I want it to start when i turn the key, and go when i hit the gas. Most people view computers the same way. ray
