I guess I'm kind of new here, but this thread is really starting to annoy me. Users are what users are. If they were highly knowlegable, most of us would be out of work. They don't WANT to know the geeky stuff. So what? I don't WANT to know how to rebuild my transmission. I feel very lucky to have a few people I can help, because frankly, computers are all I know. I don't know how to plumb, or connect the power to the water heater. I'm just a computer guy. No smarter or dumber than the guy who installs my water heater, or keeps my car running.
I don't know how to rebuild my transmission either, but I *DO* know how to not abuse it such that it would need serious repairs or a rebuild that is preventable (or at least delay-able) by driving like a reasonable person.
So what's the big deal? Be HAPPY you get to deal with "dumb" users. Without them, you may be living in a shelter.
Admins are still needed with intelligent users...in fact, even MORE so. Intelligent users with root acces are actually the most dangerous in any computing environment -- because they will attempt to rearrange the entire computing infrastructure to suit their own needs at the expense of most (or even all) other users. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
