Hi everyone

Please see the "Who broke or What happened to the internet" thread.

The history of end user OS developement has for reasons of democracy of use (Unix nerds out there prick up your ears please) steadily removed the user learning curve from the process of using the interface of the increasingly complex operating systems -

With very good reason.

Unix is in the earlier stages of doing this. I'm speaking as the very happy user of a Ubuntu 9.XX netbook, that's just as easy to use for the end user, in a home networked environment, for a Tyro user, as a WIN box - However as an example, printer support is an examplar of a barrier - SU - Super user do ! thats a bit hard for the average WIN enabled user. Unix will become, once manufacturers commit themselves; to the process of developing drivers a proper universal, scaleable operating sys available to all. I am a convert (no offence intended Keef) to its capabilities in a user friendly form. A unix / linux corner please.
PS - Running MP3 files is no longer a No No.

CAT III
