No, I referred to the questions as simple questions where someone would
have had to have read the tutorial (or already knows the answers) to get
a less restricted account.....
There would of course be the option to say 'I want a completely
unrestricted incoming and outgoing account, I do know what I'm doing'....
The point being that the majority of mum's, dad's and indeed small
businesses don't have a clue about what they are doing, and most just
want to be able to browse the web, do some internet banking or shopping,
and have access to email.
Yours
