Right. These people invest good money in certifications training that will employ them in the easiest way. They want to know how to work with "what employers expect". This automatically ignores anything other than "what pays". Nothing wrong with that per se. Everyone has bills to pay. You could very easily argue, however, these people are far less interested in what works best, or the fun of good computing in general because they've trained themselves into a corner, by choice. Computer training is as diverse as heating and air conditioning training, or learning how to drive a semi. It's more about how employable they are, just like with any other technical job. >People may be frustrated, but they don't want to take the time to >research a better choice. They just keep hoping Windows will "Get Better". Yes, but I think that has more relevance with enthusiasts who don't depend on Windows technology for their paycheck. The Win IT guy may occasionally complain, but that's not the same as recommending an alternative staring him in the face. The enthusiast can at least be more open, because he has less to lose and more power to seek change. -David -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
