Just remember that they may be end-users, but outside the computer world they maybe great engineers, statesman, designers, scientist, etc who use computer as a tool to accomplish. Imagine people over there call programmers as nerd-of-real-world or low-level-programming-workers. Of cos, there are people who use computers simply for day-to-day yet think with their knowledge "they know computer". But we ourself must not has that attitude of stereotyping and generalising people =) --- Lam YongXian Adolflam.com FSF member #5279 _______________________________________________ Advocate mailing list [email protected] http://badvista.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/advocate
