Tee I'll bet you will begin to see more of the same on the Mac
side as people convert over to OS X. Not withstanding the slick
interface it is a vary complex operating system, requires file
extensions (hidden or otherwise) and I'm sure in time people will
not understand what is going on under the hood.
You (and I) have had the advantage of growing up with Apple ][s
][e's, ][c's, A][GS, 68000, 68010, 68020, 68030, 68040, PPC 601,
603, 603e's 604 , and all the flavours of G3/G4 etc. Along the
way having to learn about ASCII, file storage etc etc. You have
probably forgotten more than some people want to know about
computers - so don't be too hard on them!!
