not at all the epicenter of the whole thread, but it would have been
kind of considerate to have made the "incapable" user male, and the
"capable" on a female.  As it stands now, it perhaps reflects a larger
portion of reality than vice versa, but it is sad to assume that those
that don't understand computers very well are female (albeit older as
well), and those that do are male.  Sorry for this rather off-topic Re:
but I feel that this is something to try to avoid if at all possible...

P.S.
Does accountant or tax accountant work for Renatas job description?
