<i>Surf the web</i><p>Am I a power user if I surf Hacker News with Internet Explorer 6? What if I surf Yahoo News using IceWeasel with thirty extentions?<p><i>Manage/share your digital photos</i><p>Am I a power user if I use iPhoto to remove red-eye from pictures taken with my DSLR? What if if I use Lightroom to do the same thing with pictures from my crappy old point-and-shoot?<p><i>Play games</i><p>Am I a power user if I play Crysis on my eMachine? What if I play Solitaire on my overclocked quad-SLI i7 "rig"?<p><i>Anyone who does more...usually considers themselves a "power user"</i><p>I don't, which is why I'm perpetually confused by the term. It doesn't really seem like a useful distinction.
