I dont disagree with this, there are people whom have no business owning or
being near technology, then again the same could be said in relation to
firearms, automobiles and sharp objects.

However it is what it is, and computer usage is no longer going to be
isolated to geeks running bulletin boards and reading Fidonet.

However for a so called geek to sit and proclaim what is enough for other
users is unreasonable.
