@jwcph "When most people buy a car, they don’t expect to have to learn how an engine works and how to change spark plugs. They buy a car so that they can drive it to get from point A to point B. If the car makes a funny noise, they will ignore it as long as possible. Eventually, it may bother them to the point of taking it to a mechanic who will ask incredulously, “How long has it been doing this?” And the answer will be something like, “Oh, about a year.”
The same goes for computers. People don’t want to learn about gigabytes and dual-core processors and security zones. They just want to send email to their friends and surf the Web." - Raymond Chen.
