Yeah, I agree. The problem is how to make the transition between user
and hacker. It used to be that you'd have to be at least something of a
hacker to do anything with a computer, and with not a whole lot of
knowledge, you could make something as good as the "real" software.
Maybe if Open Source/Free Software goes really mainstream, that will be
a way to get in to it...

Any of those... I wasn't really talking about anything in particular.
