Re: LONG [News Digest] Mark Kent Linux News Digest for the 24hrs preceding 22-05-09

After takin' a swig o' grog, Mark Kent belched out
  this bit o' wisdom:

    I notice my own perspective is changing as I learn how liberating it is
    to have control over so many things, and I'm astonished how quickly
    I've abandoned what one tech writer called the "learned
    helplessness" of Windows. Now if something goes wrong it isn't
    the end of the world -- I just set out to fix it!" 

"Learned helplessness".

Eek!
