Re: [LUG] Are we too technical for our own good ?

 

As a general comment re this thread:
Some problems are quite technical.
One of the lies sold in computing is that  a GUI  will make things easier.
In order to manage a problem you have to understand it - Windows, and now to 
an increasing extent GNOME/KDE/OO etc give users the power to 'set things up 
quickly' and then repent at leisure.
I believe its a Cornish expression when asking for directions 'Ooh you don't 
want to start from here'. Alas that seems to be where most of us are!
