[PLUG] The solution to World Domination

After a particularly "interesting" session with a user I have determined
the solution to "World Domination". All personal computer and Internet
users will have to be licensed. This will require that they take a test
of minimal computer use competency.
It would consist of questions like:
What is the difference between a right and left click of the
mouse? Left-handers that have reconfigured their mouse get extra credit.
( Heck they should pass. )
Where is the start button?
Which socket in the modem does the wall "line" plug into? ( plus
three points if they can find their modem -- minus 10 points for selecting
the Ethernet socket )
Where/what is the desktop?
What are all those funny little pictures on the desktop called?
So we knock out ( in a fit of kindness ) 75% of the computer users. Then
20% ( or whatever is left over ) convert to Linux, MAC, BSD, or other UNIX
when Microsoft goes out of business.
World Domination!
I'm sure this has been proposed before but it is a pretty harmless way to
vent on a Monday!
Thanks for allowing me to spread these bits and bytes. You've been a
wonderful audience.
