    An excellent program, very useful in the right hands, very dangerous in the wrong hands.

    Note that is not a criticism of the program. There really is no way to make a program that's powerful and yet safe for novices, other than asking 'are you sure ?' on every mouse click - and that still doesn't make it safe against the ones who will ignore the warnings. The best thing a novice can do is admit they only know so much and get someone who knows more than they do.

    Powerful and useful, but you must really know what you are doing.
