    I applaud the efforts this organization is attempting. Will it fix
    everything? Of course not.

    End-users exist.

    Some end-users are smart enough to learn.

    Other end-users are smart enough to know they're too dumb to learn, but
    smart enough to ask for help.

    Other are simply too clueless to know they're clueless and will continue to
    exist in that ignorance.

    If they're not smart enough to ask to learn, not smart enough to ask for
    help, how are they to be expected to use the suggested alternative: Linux?

    My parents fall into this category. I love them dearly but my Dad trying to
    use X-windows and Star-Office seems like a bigger headache than the number
    of script-kiddies port scanning my network for sql vulnerabilities.

    Good luck everyone! Try and keep it in perspective, this is our job, not why
    we get up in the morning.
