I was joking.

But not joking, i am one of the few people that thought the *concept* of something 'friendly' for the non-it person wasn't a bad idea.  Sure, their implementation was total garbage but the idea of making it less 'computerish' wasn't a bad idea.  Apple sort of did that with the newton too. I though it worked well there.   I think someone else did something similar, which wasn't as bad as Bob, but never took off either. ( for the 64 for perhaps? Or Amiga? I don't remember now but i don't think there was a flavor for the Atari and was commodore centric )

Of course today, no need for it, everyone have learned enough to get by, and "general use' interfaces ( like phones ) have become simpler.

I wouldn't be surprised. Copilot Bob.

And after all my praise for LXDE, couple of hours ago my screen blinked. The task bar turned grey. No more icons, not even the menu.  Somehow it corrupted itself, removing some files in the config folder reset it.   Mouse menu worked, as did any icon on the desktop.. at least until you minimized it down to the tray.. then it vanished.    Had to create a sh file saved on the desktop that ran bash... then run that in a terminal.. only way i could start arbitrary apps.  ( like a browser so i could see if this known )

First time for everything i guess.

Im in that group, and never even heard of the attack.  Sounds bad tho.
