It only makes one weaker and far less stable. I believe windows is perfect proof of this.But it is this "dumbing down" that will sell linux (and this is a shame!!!) ..people do not want to do anything but turn on a computer and have everything work the first time, every time. Linux has come a long way since I first tried it 5 years ago. I do not have everything working properly yet but I know that I will because I am willing to do some research and ask questions. I have winxp on another hard drive but haven't used it for about a week or so now. (I actually thought that I couldn't live without it, LOL)that is where techs come in handy. Someone who knows how to do something and gets paid for doing it. They either make use of them, and there are a lot of people out there that can and would do such a thing for money. It's either that or just simply dust off the old brain a bit and actually learn to do something for themselves.
But as I said almost a year ago, it's not as easy to find a linux tech as a windows one.

I'm not overly expensive! At present when I'm not doing "dad" things and I'm not over burdened with home work for school I charge $25 an hour for custom programming and Website design and maintainence. It helps keep me in goodies for my ever growing population of Penguins and their trappings.
