Evolution
This forum has been a favourite since the early days of pprune. Professional aviators are a friendly lot and in my experience like to help each other and indeed punters in distress.
However, the nature of the replies to cries for help seems to have changed over time. There are so many replies of an unhelpful or even smart arsed type.
So we get “try a Mac” when a chap has a problem with rebooting his PC. “You should use LINUX” and invective when Win7 gives a problem. – and of course “What do you expect” if you should dare to confess to using IE 7/8/9. There is an unhappiness with Microsoft expressed so when a question arises about Office (The chap has presumably paid good money to be compatible with his business and colleagues) The cry is “go to Open Office” or whatever it’s called these days.
I won’t patronise the “good guys” by naming them but thanks to them anyway.
Now I can’t wait to be told “If you don’t like it go elsewhere” so I shall don my low visibility flak jacket.
