h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I guess I better write this down before i forget it. An ACE is an assistant (helper) editor. I guess that makes them pretty important and probably nice, too.

(Random thought)
I had a lot of fun today watching my mother trying to figure out how to program a VCR. I fidn it easy to push about four buttons, set a time, and be done. She was at it for nearly half an hour. I guess technology outpaces people. (my g-ma doesnt know how to use a remote.) Also, i wonder if it is always going to be that way. Same goes for computers, microwaves, and other appliances. The more peopel try to make products easier to use, the more older consumers are baffled by how to use the appliance. And manuals aren't a pleasant thing to read, either way.
