You need a full CompSci degree to use OSX !? 2004-02-18

OSX is drop-dead simple to use, easier than Windows, and certainly easier than Linux.

Anyone that claims that Joe Sixpack needs any serious training to use OS 10.anything is either ignorant beyond belief, or willfully stupid in favor of their pet OS...

...and this is a Linux guy telling you that you're full of it as per OSX and ease-of-use.

If I were as ignorant of OSes as yourself, I'd keep hiding behind "Anonymous" too... sheesh.
