Editorial First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

Re: good choice vs. bad choice

Wilhelm,

"P.S. Writing well is skill like any other. Just because the author is not the most skilled of writers doesn't mean that his observations are not meaningful"

This is true, and I feel I should clarify my earlier remark. Correct: the quality of one's writing is not in and of itself a sign that the observation itself is good or bad. However, anyone who's had to look through CV's will tell you: it's one hell of a barometer.
Come on, he didn't even spell his side-interest properly (catooning?). I didn't mean to suggest he was incapable of spelling, however I am suggesting that such bold carelessness only detracts from what he's saying. The fact that what he's saying is poorly explained and could use a lot more detail/qualification is another issue.
