Senator Stevens Speaks on Net Neutrality | Public Knowledge

Man, there is SOOOO much wrong with this guys speech. I just can't get over it. I have heard it a number of times, seen all the comments, etc. I am not going to expand much here. I just hope that the "geeks" of our society start to pay more attention to our elected representatives.

Although I must say, that most "non-geeks" will most likely see some of the errors in his speak.

While listening to this, I hope you think to yourself -- "Who does he work for?" (Hint: Huge Telco's pay him big $$ )

From what Leo says:

"A Grandchild's Guide to Using Grandpa's Computer." He wrote it after his grandkids messed up his Mac.

This comment is different then the page I found (and blogging about) but thought I should add that.

Easing migration with the OpenOffice.org menu and toolbar configuration tools

I don't know if this is "usable" but something to remember. Make OO.o look like MS Office, and then tell everyone that "MS Office has had a MAJOR upgrade" before you roll it out.
