Think again! I don't know where are you from, but in our country you can't get driving licence when you don't know how to drive a car and not damage anything. Technology is not for everyone, you certainly must to know how to change bulb, how to refuel etc. If you blow up a fuel station when refueling your car, this "technology" is definitely not for you.
Although you may think it is much easier to handle cars than to read e-mails, I don't think so. If people spend so much time with reading e-mails as they spend in cars, they would definitely know that .vbs or other unknown files are not to be clicked on. --- What would you do if you would find a suspicious bottle and there is hand-written "dear Johnna, drink this liquid, it's great."? You would drink it at once??? I bet you don't. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bc.Aley [eili] Keprt - games & multimedia programmer ICQ: 82357182 (evenings) *** phone: +420-68-5387035 (weekends) private e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** http://get.to/aley office: Illusion Softworks, Brno, CZ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnna Teare" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no> Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 9:53 PM Subject: RE: [OT] Pass it on, spread it around BUt in your world Frode, technology and its potential benefits would only be available to the knowledgable. It is wrong to say that only people who understand how cars work should drive them - technolody is for everyone, and it is up tot he more knowlegable people to try and educate others, or to use their knowledge to try and stop the accidents / viruses in teh first place. my 2 cents - sorry its off topic!
