Consider the large number of people who buy Microsoft because they think
it's the best, or the number of folks who install computer systems who
know little about them(kinda less than Appliance Operators), or the number
of folks who think they can have their web pages on their own server with
little effort and/or knowledge) and you come up with a significant number
of systems that are running on autopilot...in a very large circle.

Of course, that says nothing of the idiotic zone transfer requests or
duplicate domain names from dim-bulbs  using Win2000.
