The ignorance levels exhibited by the preceeding two posts would astound me, had they not already clearly demonstrated their conversational abilities.

Referring to Linux implies Im from a Podunk middle School ?  But "we are mostly adults here ?" 

Haha.  Son, just incase you overlooked the username, (which should have given you a clue had you been in the habit of using your noggin), I was hand soldering and machine-code programming my own computer designs back when the Z80 processor first came out, just to throw a little perspective into your world view.

So my claimed  erudite correspondent, your offer to "educate" me with a rap of your ruler, and your complaint that my page of counters to your brief  but erroneous statements constitute a wall of text or a shotgun spray merely confirm that you are incapable of processing any input that takes more than 2.5 seconds of cogitation and are therefore not worth bothering with.  Go and Play indeed..  What are you, 15yo ?

And to Mr Rat Poison, Who said anything about AuntFlo running the current Bitcoin client on her Virus ridden Windows PC ?  I hypothesized an ATM-like machine that enabled person-to-person transfers across national boundaries.  Aunt Flo can pop into her local corner store and withdraw her funds in the local scrip, without even having to own a computer thanks to the bitcoin network .  Its just an example end user application.  YOU inserted the Windows PC and the current Bitcoin software which is currently developmentally equivalent to Netscape Navigator v1.0 (incase you are old enough to remember it). 

End User Applications will likely hide the whole mechanics of the bitcoin operations completely from view of the error-prone end user.

Go ahead, wander into your local bank, and transfer $100 to an overseas relative.  See how long it takes, how much trouble it is and what the fees  are.

You go ahead and keep on saying that everything it does is already being done better..  repeat it often enough and you might even convince yourself.   After all, who needs email ?  Whats wrong with a written letter ?  Stamps have been good enough for AuntFlo for 50 years you know.
