Yeah, my wife has about the same level of computer literacy that I expect the 
average 'dane computer user to have and she made the switch to linux 
relatively painlessly.  She certainly found it less troublesome moving from 
W98 to linux than she did from AmigaOS to MacOS7 to W98.  When she was using 
W98 there was always a constant barrage of vehement comment radiating from 
her work room.  Now there is only contented silence. Bill won't be getting 
any of her money soon I can tell you.

Having been on USENET for going on ten years, I disagree with this.
The basic notion underlying USENET is the flame.
