This one really gets me. How can someone who has presumably enough
functioning synapses to be able to learn to read believe that drivel ? Of
course, having just had a conversation with a girl at customer service in a
Tesco where they've had to block up the punt slots on their dual currency
trolley locks because the great unwashed were putting 1 Euro coins into the
clearly marked 1 punt slots, I suppose there's no end to the stupidity of
Joe Sixpack - and some people would like to dumb down my favourite OS enough
for this person to use it - I surely hope not.
