If you dont know any decent amount about computers (at least a DOS prompt, for god's sake), you dont deserve anything higher than a 486.

Computers arent meant to be friendly. Its just that the people who do know their shit are forced to water down the complexity of what they know so that the idiot majority of people can play their mp3's, play games where the whole point is to ride around in stolen cars, and chat with annoying fonts on AOL.
