   Yeah, makes me grind my teeth sometimes at how ignorant people are.    
   Generally, people just aren't interested in educating themselves.   
      
   People are amazed when they visit my home and see my network.  They act like   
   it's all magic: "I'm not very good at that stuff, I could *NEVER* do that!"   
      
   I started including my BBS as a hobby on applications and resumes.  I was at   
   our local workforce center when they had a resume building class.  I figured,   
   what the heck, been a long time since high school, maybe I'll learn   
   something.  Not really, of course, but the instructor insisted on checking   
   out all of our resumes.  I was amused at how wowed she was at my 5 min.   
   resume, and she asked about the BBS.  I'm like, "watch this", and grabbed her   
   keyboard, got connected in 2 seconds, and smiled when her eyes got real wide.   
   I explained how in this one software we have all these services, available   
   right off my little itty bitty netbook at home, and got the "look", like it's   
   all magic guru cow powers or something...lol
