When I look at this Forum with members helping other members fixing their computer, getting a understanding of how things work and guidance on the TO DO'S and NOT TO DO's it puts good feelings in my brain. Then I read something like this.

Waterproof iPhone Advert: 'Owners Fooled'

How do you help people like this?
To my thinking this is a example of what I call the masses of todays computing people.

It's a wonder how these obviously challenged individuals made it this long in life,
Possibly head trauma from falling down to much ?
