is it harder than

- learning to drive?
- learning math?
- learning to cook?
- figuring out all 70+ cable channels?

get my point? priorities (redux)...

anyway, i know that a lot of folk have a fear of "breaking" the computer -- intimidation that they are gonna push a button and blow the thing up

(btw - user friendliness IS a big deal though. making software easier to load, and manipulate -- as well as making hardware a little smarter WOULD help. )
