What's wrong with Window's Media Player 10? I don't believe I've eer gotten spyware or a virus because of it either. Of course I also use spyware blockers and a virus checker.

Odd enough, IE is much faster thn Firefox, both at booting and surfing, so I seldomly use FF

You could say that again

It's just pathetic that so many people are using computers at such a primitive level. Yeah, sure, they know how to operate the various office applications (word processors, spreadsheet programs, etc.) but they have no understanding of when to use what.

A lot of people automatically use spreadsheet programs to make tables because a spreadsheet is in tabular form. They don't know spreadsheets aren't make for that.

Even more people use spreadsheet programs for database work, and end up with 'sheets mindboggling complex and impossible to maintain.

Of course, then you have FrontPage users, who are in a class of their own.

It's a good thing we're all so much better than them.

This would have been fun, if it didn't turn into 'that' kind of thread.

So, when it comes to basic computing skills, they are, to put it succinctly, in a word, clueless?
