Default Re: Windows Vista, new video card

Not to sidetrack this or start a flame war but this reminds me of something I wrote back when Xbox came out...

It used to be that you had to learn DOS to get to and learn UNIX to get
to and learn Internet. We had some rude people but no stupid ones. Then
Windows created "user friendly" connections and we got "users" who could
only use a computer but knew nothing about it. Then AOL created
"foolproof" connections for those who couldnt figure out Windows and we
got fools. Then WebTV created "idiot-proof" connections and from what I saw
it seemed to be doing a great job of it.
Now we have Xbox but Ive run out of words.
