I knew you would understand Fryke. I have come to learn that you are the type of person that isn't satisfied just using something. You the type (like me) that has to understand how that machine/process is doing what it is doing.
I just seem to see that since the late Eighties and early Nineties, when people were using the networking principle because the the technology was so new, saw the evolution of networking. Today kids are coming along that just know how the game, piece of gaming software runs, but does not have a real handle on where the data is going once it leaves the computer. The divide is growing larger just because the explosion of popularity of the Internet brought in all the Masses.
To me is just the state (the least in America)of teaching is not stressing basic networking. I see people being taken advantage of by ISP and web sites. It make me almost made because I wish people the best and a little knowledge can go a long way. I guess the car analogy may not be so bad after all.
