I believe that people need to take the time to understand some of the basics
and use the correct terminology. Evn tho prices have come down drastically
over the years, computers are not cheap. Why is it so uncommon for people to
at least know a little something about their investment?

Unfortunately it's nothing new, Tom. A large segment of society has
*perennially* latched on to industry buzz words [in virtually every
industry] without having any understanding of what the terms actually
mean... I routinely hear users refer to having "500 GB of *memory*".
You can't really blame the individuals entirely because the industry
fosters
such confusion and misinformation... Like marketing USB devices as
"drives"
& good ol' MS lumping Photographs, Movies & Sounds in with ClipArt :-)
