I'm pretty savvy but I have learned a few tricks from others. Although some people make me grind my teeth down to nubs

About 10 years ago, I told everyone I helped that I either installed Linux or they were on their own. And I was never going to physically hold an iPhone unless it was to free them up to go find a hammer.
there are benefits to being a technically advanced computer user:
