There is actually a rather burning rebuttal of the editorial if you read down into the comments (at http://www.linuxandmain.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=91 see "This article is unresearched and nearly pointless (Score: 1) by adubey on Monday, June 10 @ 11:15:30 EDT") On Fri, 07 Jun 2002 22:48:24 -0400, jfweber@eternal.net wrote:

Well w/ the current crop of guis, everyone's mum, can use it, especially in a controlled environment , like a business !
