Well I just want to say that there are some people who just should not be using computers. Plain and simple. Computers should be banned from them, and they should not touch them. Ok, maybe I'm being judgemental because I like to think of myself as a decent user of a computer. So I can't program a program from scratch, but I can code html and I do know some css, and php. Of course, if I DON'T know, I know where to look. That being said, there are some people who just should not use a computer. I'm talking about the people who do not know that you can tab through fields and insist on going up to use the mouse (which has the middle roller button--only has it disabled) to click to the next field as opposed to hitting the tab key and making it go that much faster.

I'm talking about the people who believe that aliases chosen as online IDs are a personal affront to her knowing who they are, who do not realize there are different reasons for being online other than a narrowly-defined space in which to work. The idea of google frightens them. Or they just use it's main search capability and don't realize that they archive pages. And don't care to learn about it. And then think they're all expert. People who think that because they use a computer in one way that EVERYONE else in the world uses (and has to use) the computer in the same exact way. That a computer's only use is as a word-processor.

Ok, I may be talking a little harshly on people who are just learning. People who may not have had the benefit of growing up with a computer in the house. But you have to be willing to learn if you're going to use it!

Ok, I'm a bitch I know. I don't think age has anything to do with it. Because I've known people in their 70's finally get a computer and realize all the things about online SN's and all that sort of thing. It's my conclusion that there is massive tunnel vision and a refusal to learn. Perhaps because if they know, they will realize how difficult some things really are. And if they realize that, they cannot feel superior.

*takes a deep breath*

My other big rant is on SUV's but I suppose that will have to wait for another time because they get me riled up. I guess I don't have a big problem with the smaller SUV's but mostly the big ones where they believe that because they are 10 feet off the ground they are safer. Well perhaps they themselves are safer against a collision with a smaller car, but they are making the roads far more dangerous. And there's such the small fix for that too. *takes another deep breath*

I should just go back to writing my happy little Elf stories. Ok I will.
