A Neandertal with a sharpened rock attached to the end of a short stick
might not be up to the task of waging modern warfare; however, I
certainly would not want to get hit on the head with his weapon. IMHO,
your vexatious comment to the OP was uncalled for. I know individuals
driving around in vintage 1950's cars. Perhaps they should get off the
highway because they are not the latest models either. While I
certainly agree that using the latest software might be advantageous;
to ridicule or call an individual incompetent simple because for their
own personal reasons they choose not to is uncalled for. I am assuming
that all of the software you use is absolutely the latest version
available and your PC(s) are all the latest models. None of last
year's or month's crap is being used I assume.

At least "/dev/rob0" gave the OP a cautious and useful suggestion. Your
reply is what I would expect on Slashdot.
