It must free up amazing amounts of time (heh - spent on reboots and reinstalls) to be so ignorant of the world around you.

For some, reboots are a necessary part of feeling like they are interacting with the computer in a way that taxes the computers ability, thus providing a "feel good" by getting the darn thing to turn back on again, so Microsoft provides a service.

For some in the Mac world, it is the feeling of superiority that makes them feel good, even if the application they are using works better on other platforms, so Apple provides a service.

And yet for others, watching a program spew out compilation notices and getting the darn program to compile (and work) does exactly the same thing, thus Gentoo provides a service.

For some on this list, reading your rants of superiority may provide entertainment as they contemplate the inferiority complex that might drive you to do so, thus, Matusiak provides a service.

Not all ignorance is bad, and nethier are those who posess some - even you!
