Title: Oh dear, how patronising can you be?
Post by: tiermat on 15 April, 2008, 04:18:26 pm

From Linux.com I followed a link to a site which is producing a graphic (read comic style) linux guide for newbies...

I had a quick scan and it seems so patronising, it's painful.....

Link here, if you care to look: Hackett and Blackwell (http://www.hackettandbankwell.com/media/Hackett-And-Bankwell-First-Issue-Preview.pdf)

think I'll stick to www.toddandpenguin.com

It's a pdf file, so why do I have to enable javascript to see it?

Patronising cartoons work for me.

Look, Fisher-Price is the correct level for the average user.  Grumble all you like, but that's the truth (I see it every day here at work) and Bill Was Right.

They'll be Crosse that you got the name of it wrong too.
