(SUN) -- Users are grumbling about a SUN (Stupid Users Network) Corp sponsored bill currently before congress; legislature requiring all computer users to become certified. Under the new rules, users that will operate any type of computer appliance must pass 3 exams or lose ownership of their computer.
It?s obvious that this is something that should have been done long ago, said Steve Slaughter, Public Relations with SUN. Steve was quoted saying, it is costing corporations a gazillion dollars a year to walk stupid users through basic computer operations such as powering them up, inserting a floppy disk and that an upside down mouse is not a track ball. We have 12 o?clock flashers attempting to operate more computer power than used to put a man on the moon, Rob Rush, CEO of SUN stated.
The bill has been received warmly by the legislature and is projected to pass into law by an overwhelming bipartisan vote. Meanwhile, the four suits filed by angry (stupid) users, seeking unspecified monetary damages, will be ruled on later this week.
