I don't think this is just reviewers - it is a natural reaction to finding oneself feeling "lost". I have the same reaction every time I sit down in front of a broken Windows box (which these days is almost the only time I sit down in front of Windows - if you except the odd VNC session to make IE only "fixes" to perfectly respectable web pages). Especially when I find that the old methods of doing Windows have changed for no particular purpose. If you don't know how something works, and there isn't an obvious thing to try to fix it, we all feel lost. Although usually these days I find more and more that it is the world that is broken (or badly documented) and not me. About the only time I didn't feel like this was working with OS2.... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
