Poor Helios, I feel your pain buddy!

While I don't always agree with Helios on everything, I totally understand his feelings in this matter.
We live in a world of computer users who have been conditioned to accept all manner of low quality crap from Microsoft, but they look at you like your crazy if you suggest an alternative. And if they DO bother to try something better, they won't read the manual and will blame you and the software everytime the new program doesn't work exactly the same way Microsoft does it. And worse, most of these sheep don't even know their systems are utterly 0wned and full of virii and trojans etc. I've seen systems with literally hundreds on infections.
Computers are part of every day life. These days not knowing the basics of computer science is like not learning to read, write and do arithmetic. It's ignorant and there's no excuse for it.
People take driver's ed, but expect to walk up and use a computer.
Well, thankfully, as shown by the article, sometimes ignorance is it's own punishment. I have absolutely no sympathy for the people that clicked on that link.
