I'm always surprised that people who spend most of their time working with computers and programming expect everybody else to do the same. I don't expect everyone who comes into my nursery to know the 2:1:2 lattice structure of a vertisol clay or understand about soil microbiology. Everybody comes into contact with plants and dirt from an early age. That's not true with computers. As a matter of fact, I've heard that using a computer is just a minor diversion for many people. They don't know about programming or care to learn, just like some people will use a car but not become a mechanic.

Good question Larry. I didn't know what it was until I asked my son. You can't learn unless you ask.

"in laughter all evil is present, though sanctified and absolved through it's own happiness"

"laughter is being schadenfroh in good conscience"

- Nietzsche.
