I don't believe so: New Hampshire is (was? Gawd, I hope not!) the last
state which didn't, and their motto is: "Live Free or Die."
Hmmmm...
Remember, tho: The 55mph speed limit used to be federal law too... and they
said it would save lives. Did it? No.
>Remember this: helmets don't save stupid people from their own stupidity.
Bingo...
>Taking this topic back to classic computers, consider this:
Consider this:
If everyone were still running VAXen, Commodores, Tandys, Ataris, etc.
would we have as many computer idiots today?
Probably not.
But look what we have: Winblows XP & MacOS. Computers on training wheels,
and how many people actually know how to fix the damn things? 2% of the
population? Tops?
And some people actually think that Lindows is the answer... hell, it's
part of the problem! Now we have Linux on training wheels. Yiippee. :-/
Altho, it keeps my company in business...
