Let's not go getting all elitest. People have different interests. I happen to enjoy computers and have since before the days of 300baud BBS systems, when I wrote and maintained my own Commodore 64 1-line BBS (whew ancient). To someone who wasn't into the hobby, it would be much more of an investment of time and energy than they'd ever want to put out. This doesn't make them dumb or cretins, anymore than you'd be a cretin for not being an expert in a different hobby. You're good at what you enjoy. Computers have finally reached a level where about anybody can use them, which is great. A computer savvy person can still get MUCH MUCH more out of a computer system than someone who is not, but remember mainstream acceptance gives us all many more choices at lower prices...

P.S. Ever go help a friend/neighbor/relative with their computer and it looks to you like a weedpatch would look to a gardener? No defragging, orphan files everywhere, START BAR that is 100 miles long with crap they don't even use, spyware installed, etc etc.
