In the old timey days, personal computers cost from $2500 to $8000.  So
hobbyists with lots of spare cash were buying PCs, not boobs that think
computers are like washing machines.  With that huge layout of money,
you damn well took the time to learn how to be an expert admin.  Back
then, a high-end VCR cost $900 so you learned how to use it versus the
$20 DVD players of today made for simpletons.

Saturating the market means reaching ignorant consumers.
