Of course you do, I've never doubted that. But the average Mac user is not at
all interested in the inner workings of their computer.

Besides, I never said anything about the knowledge of Mac users, I was
referring to the intended audience for Macs, namely "the rest of us" (or the
rest of the world, seen from this list's perspective).
Sorry if I'm a bit incoherent, I'm 1 m from collapsing into bed.
