   Because her can't, few of them can, it's part of their failing.   
      
   The funny thing is I came here (~2 years ago) with the same idea as   
   many noobs and as many folks do happily to many other n/g and forums   
   around the net in the hope of some help and a bit of friendly banter.   
   I actually get some of both with some people here but Linux obviously   
   has a pretty unique appeal so I wasn't surprise with the sort of   
   people I found.   
      
   That not with standing, there are still a good few folk who can and do   
   try to help without the bias, prejudice and assumptions made by the   
   likes of Ceed here but even then I hold little malice towards them and   
   their kind as I am now very aware they simply can't help it or   
   themselves.   
      
   I am merely some bloke that happens to be happy with XP but is trying   
   other OS's on lots of different hardware and just might need a bit of   
   help now and again. I don't want lectures on how I should use my OS's   
   not constant questions why I should be here where there is no onus on   
   me to do so to anyone, especially the freaks and nutjobs.   
      
   If they were actually as bright as they think they are they would   
   realise that I'll not be leaving here any time soon and I'd spend less   
   time here if I get some good / useable answers to my technical   
   questions (but their 'specialness' prevents them from seeing such   
   things of course).   
      
   In the meantime I'll continue trying Linux in the hope that it becomes   
   truly useable by me in the future.   
      
   Cheers, T i m.   
      
   p.s. I have a call on my answering machine when I got in tonight from   
   a guy I installed Mint 10 for dual boot with XP a while back now who   
   is probably chasing up when I'll go round there to fix the panels that   
   got all screwed up on their own (luckily XP is still fine). Also, I   
   might drop in on a mate tomorrow who needs his Windows / Linux   
   partition sizes adjusting and it's easier for me to do it myself then   
   try to instruct him over the phone. As he mainly uses Ubuntu since I   
   installed it for him I could just wipe Vista and give Ubuntu all the   
   space but he had a Garmin GPS and an iPod ...)
