Reply #2: Here's a good story on the Dummy guides

[grannylib]

My 83 year old father recently got his first computer (gift from my brother). He was having a really hard time getting used to it, and went out to buy one of the Dummy books for some help. He called me up one night, really happy because he had his book and he was going to learn to use his computer.

"What book did you buy, Daddy?"

" 'Does'(pronounce dooz) for Dummies!"

"What??"

"DOES FOR DUMMIES"

"Oh dad...that is DOS for dummies - you have a Windows system...."

"What?..."

Took a long time to explain that one!!


I think they SHOULD write a Voting for Dummies book:
1) Do not vote for a Republican
2) If you currently reside in Florida, move before the next election so your vote has a chance of being counted (Tennessee would NOT be a good alternate choice...)
3) Ignore sound bites and EDUCATE YOURSELF before voting...
4) Do not vote for a Republican
5) Do NOT VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN!!!!
