[SEL] O.T. O.T. Need Computer Help

[Mark Shulaw]

Hi,  You have to keep in mind that the point of the whole 
Microsoft  Windows operating system was to make the personal computer 
possable to the masses and so it must be more user friendly.  So the more 
computer illiterates you have using, the easier it is for them to mess 
things up. And yes I include myself in the arena of computer 
illiterates.  Just because we can use email, google porn or sell on Ebay 
does not mean we know a whip about computers and the operating systems. So 
you have to make it way easier to correct their mistakes because there is 
not enough truely "system" or "hardware" literate people around to correct 
problems.
  You want to keep a system secure, then make it difficult or complicated 
and keep the knowledge base of people who know it to a minimum, restrict 
their access.  And then too, it better be stand alone.
   None of us or very few of us use our computers to even 10% of their true 
capabilities.   Mark
