RE: tlug: linux ease-of-use

He he he...

I guess I'm somewhere kinda in between... on the one hand, I like things
that are easy to use b/c I don't have to mess around with them, but on the
other hand, I do like them for the same reason as you, Scott... I like to
hack and around and mess things up... I guess one thing that I haven't lost
from my "youth" (after going to a few TLUG events, I'm not sure if that's a
good work to use... :D ), is the fact that I never have the fear of
destroying my computer... well, if I'm working directly with the power
supply, that's a whole different story I guess... I kind of developed a
phobia for that now... especially when I nearly burned down our floor one
time when hooking up a p/s the wrong way... stupid me, I labeled "Black" as
"Bl", and Blue as "B"... seemed to have made sense to me at the time, but
that was 2 years earlier when I had taken the wires off... :D  and boy did
that hurt when the spark hit my hand... I also electrocuted my fingers one
time when my hand slipped and one finger went in between two bare wires...
ouch!
