I think that everyone should try being a tech support monkey for an ISP sometime. MOST people have a hard time using windows. In 95% of my calls when I ask them to right click on something, or to double click on something, I have to explain myself. Or with some people, asking them what is on the desktop, they are like a keyboard and a mouse. The average individual as I have found out have a hard time using windows, much less trying to learn something completely new to them. I may only be 18, but I've been using linux since I was 12. Come on, if I could figure this out when I was 11 it cant be that hard. After doing tech support, you realize that people couldnt do this.
A close friend of mine mearly logged into a SCO server in our school district, who's login and password was admin. They called the FBI and threatned to expell him for it. The FBI's collective response was: Get Real.

I'm 18 and I was working part time setting up servers when I was 15, in Texas anyway you can work at 14 I do believe.
Argg, sorrenson is the one codec that we all really want and still no opensource way to use it... Oh well, atleast we have crossover.
Ensoniq made really good cards, I have an original Ensoniq ES1370 and it is far superior to the newer AudioPCI's. Too bad Creative bought them out.
