Don' explain how it works. People don't care about the technical details. Just show them what you can do with it. They'll understand that. That's what I did with people around me. I talked about it to my brother, who is not technically minded at all, and he was all jazzed up: "Wow! where can I get one?" Unfortunately, I had to break to him the bad news: : "Sorry, but if you don't know beans about computers, I don't recommend it." -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31324 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
