Hello Ross - 

--8<--cut 

RC> Actually I truly multi-task, I read this message, went back

RC> from you, went back to IRC, then read an email, came back
RC> read this message again and am now replying.. Its just how
RC> I like to use a computer, the multiple desktops keep me,

That was one feature of OBERON that I found intereting. I had
four desktops loaded at all times. :-) 

RC>>>>> You cant speak for any amount of users, few or many. 

CA>>>> Using your logic, neither can you speak for any amount
CA>>>> of users. 

RC>>> I dont pretend to, but you and Tom do. 

My exposure to 'users' has been fairly broad. 

CA>> When you protest what we post here so very adamantly
CA>> ('hostile' as Tom views it) the implication is that you
CA>> possess some quantity or quality of familiarity with
CA>> average users that Tom and I do not. 

RC> I dont deny you and Tom your respective opinions, but it is
RC> my opinion that you both define "average" and "typical"
RC> with a paint brush whose bristles are too wide either that
RC> or your definitions of same are way too narrow. 

At some age you stop wondering about what you cannot know and
begin to try to use what you _do_ know. If you don't do that
there is no point to remmbering what you have experienced
because no decisions are ever made using them. 

RC> You may gather that my experiences and observations are
RC> different from yours, else I would not be disagreeing with
RC> ya.. :) 

CA>>>> I tend to 'hang' with average people, yes. 

RC>>> All of them? 

CA>> I am a people-watcher by nature and do not avoid average
CA>> people. I did do PC consulting/training for 8 years for
CA>> one company here in Michigan and recently worked for the
CA>> Michigan Unemployement helping people use Windows
CA>> computers (80-100 people per day). 

CA> > :-) 

RC> and you cannot statistically overlay that onto everyone.. 

Again - at some point yes I can and do. 

RC> Here in South Carolina x out of every 10 people is a
RC> Baptist, this number wont be transplantable as a statistic
RC> in New England (Catholic).. In California x out of every 10
RC> people is a Democrat, that statistic is not transplantable
RC> in one of Dubyas red states.. :-) 

RC> Thats all I am saying.. You and Tom cant paint your brushes
RC> with that much paint and I dont think I have painted anyone. 

To express any idea requires that you stop wondering and use
what you know. At some point in your life you will understand
what I mean. :-)
