Lucius - Re: "a majority of Americans don't want or don't need a computer"

I don't know about a majority, but I suspect that there are a LOT OF PEOPLE who wouldn't have clue what to do with a computer.

Let's face it, there are many people who are not all that technical and struggle with programming a simple VCR. For them, a computer still must seem like "science fiction".

On the flip side, those that do have computers - and use them productively - have and will have - an enormous technical and economic advantage over those that do not use computers.

Example - look at the new "Wall Street Billionaires" - founders of new technology startups (Yahoo and AOL come to mind). When was the last you heard of a Bricklayer Billionaire or McDonald's Burger-server billionaire or College-Basketball/Football draftee Billionaire?

Heck - the Sports world seems to be making ONLY MILLIONAIRES out of their best and "Brightest" !!!!! What a step backwards !
