It is not that bad, I wrote about it in a previous post.

There has been an enormous growth of the number of computer and internet users during
the last year. Most
of the new users do not have any experience with computers. They are also afraid of
doing anything with the
computer. This means a great amount of work for the supportdesks sand they have not
been able to grow as
quick as the number of users, which means there will be mistakes made.
If someone, who wants to get the first computer, asks me what kind to buy, I will of
course say a PC with
Windows9x, because that is what most people have, and I will warn them from getting a
Mac, because it is
very much incompatible with other computers. What I like myself is not important, when
advising others.
Next step is to show how it works, we all know how it works, so now is the time to
start discussing better
systems....

Most leading cooks in Sweden have immigrated from Germany. Some of them eat things
like cold potatoes
with linseed oil....
