Not a Newbie

Several days ago I was cleaning some files and drawers when I came across a paper with some of the specs on my last computer. It is unbelievable: my Zire 72 has a faster processor and the same amount of memory that the computer had--and I can hold the Zire in one hand! I can't even imagine how obsolete my FIRST computer would be today!

Compared to most people using computers today, I would have to say I know a bit more than a lot of them about the workings of computers. Now, that doesn't mean I am so very close to being an alpha geek, it just has to do with how easy computers are compared to what they used to be. Granted, computers are much better and complex than before, it is just that they are much easier to operate today. Programs have come a long way in becoming user-friendly. My first computer's operating system was Windows 3.1--something a lot of people never heard of, much less used! Considering I actually started out with a Windows OS, I am considered a newbie by some REAL geeks, and I truly admire their knowledge and longevity in the computer community. This is why, when some people consider me their computer guru, I can't get big-headed--I am too much of a newbie in certain ways. I wish I knew a lot more about computers and then I would NEVER have to depend on tech support again!!!!! Oh, happy day.
