I agree that mobile computing is consumer computing.

Now I am scared... Just imagine the kind of malware
that will expand like fire, shutting down large parts
of the network. By definition, consumers are NOT
the most careful users. 

In fact, I foresee a future where a cellphone starts
malfunctioning and the consumer extract the chip and
without thinking about repair it, inmediatly trash the
cellphone (with the battery still working)

I understand that many of you already know some
people who acts like these consumers, but It's not
the standard behavior, at least where I live.

Andre, from my limited contact with Linux communities,
I have collected the impression that they would send
you to "READ THE --- MANUAL" with more frequency
than Mac or Windows communities. From my personal
experience, that do not reflect, in any way, others
people experience... :-)

Have a nice day!

Al
