I know plenty of "dumber than dirt" *.nix users too. Stupidity is not limited to race, color, sex or operating system. Actually, they are smart enough to get themselves an OS that actually works with virtually all modern hardware and without having to spend countless [hours | days | weeks] attempting to getting such hardware up and running before eventually giving up in some cases. You might have heard about "N" protocol wireless devices that until fairly recently FreeBSD didn't even know existed. Even now the support is limited; however, that is another story. In any case, that is not the subject of this this reply.

Seriously though, isn't it about time to close this thread? -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
