Hi, Guest
Let's put it this way, and I'll be as nice as I can be given the subject matter at hand:
Computers were never intended for the stupid, the apathetic or the untrained. It's akin to an electronic transport truck loaded full of nitroglycerine for all the real-world damage it can potentially do. That's the reality of it.
Those who can think in truly abstract terms, even (to use a much-abused cliche) multi-task themselves become I.T. guys. We exist because the unwashed masses use every form of computer imaginable. If not for I.T. security professionals, you would all be working in the f***ing dark ages. f*** your multi-processor boxes, your servers and your Macs. Break out the crayons and storyboard, bitches. That's what it would be. Ads would be drawn on walls of buildings and emails would be FRS shouting matches.
Those who can ride herd on those who can't. The trendy "those who can't" use Macs.
Sorry, but it's true. It's not a f***ing toaster, Mac or PC. I'll die happy if I teach basic maintenance and security to at least 1 out of 100 people I meet.
If you required a license to use a PC or Mac that was anywhere near as stringent as our running joke called the graduated licensing system, 85% of the world's computers would be offline for months until users proved themselves worthy. Owning a computer is no more a right than wielding a vehicle; sadly, we let this mistake carry on uncorrected daily and we have been especially lenient for the past 25-30 years or so.
Seriously, I.T. guys everywhere should dedicate a global day of thanks to the lemmings that keep them employed. Want to know how bad "I own a Mac and it works" sounds to an I.T. guy? Blinker fluid and muffler bearings. Same thing for the idiot that "goes on the Internets and the Youtubes, checks their Hotmails", etc.
