Therefore: 1) He must know (at least) how to login to UNIX 2) Follow discussions on the pros/cons of various products. 3) Have some idea of whats going on ! Then why do we never get his 'expert' advice appearing here? If he really believes he is helping the 'poor computer user' fight back against dishonest retailers, manufacturers, and programmers then why do we have to pay $4.50 for this obviously honourable public service? I realize that joe computer user doesn't have access to this newsgroup, but then again is joe computer user going to spend megabucks on buying a sage or similar machine - I think not.
