I also heard similar things from computer jerks complaining how Windows allows almost anyone to use a computer... back when Unix was the OS of choice you had to know how to navigate around cyberspace with a black screen and text-only commands, and that was better.

I installed a new setup that while better, I still need to get used to it before I can shift off the saddle as smoothly as I did before. It used to be quite funny; I would race my buddy up the hill and I would shift as smoothly as if I was sitting on flat terrain. He tried to shift on the hill once...
