Opportunity for Usability Evaluation

Mon Dec 10 15:29:08 PST 2001

 So.. Sys Admins without at least a bachlors degree are to stupid to eval the
product?  So they want to make sure "well educated" people can use their
product but not those who have many years of experience but no 4 year degree?
 So is the less educated product testing to come later?

Anyone else see a problem here?
