I fear for the desktop, I really do. I class myself as a decent KDE 
user who often reads the code instead of the docs, If I can't figure 
out how to use the app, what chance do regular users stand?

I look out over the nearby Support desk and watch the flunkies with 
Win7. I see a very bright future indeed for Android

Ah no worries, we'll laugh about it soon enough. Halfway there already
