Surprisingly, yes. And my grandmother was still playing with a computer,
even after a massive stroke.

The required technical skills to secure a computer connected to the Internet
are a sufficient launch pad to running a domain server. Anybody who can't
run a domain mail server probably can't secure their Internet connection.

Roughly 90 attempts to deliver Swen to a local account every day tells me
that there are a lot of people who probably need either remedial computer
training, or to disconnect from the Internet. Fortunately, lack of requisite
computer skills on the Internet, unlike lack of requisite driving skills on
the public highways, won't kill anybody.
