At least that's what it seems like. I'm surrounded by computer illiterates and there is nothing that grates on my nerve more than said group of morans. Drugs and computers, those are the two things that it seems like I'm a genius at compared to everyone I talk to. Seriously, I had a LINE last night of family members who wanted me to order shit for them online. Even though the last thing I want to do is help out, I don't even let them get on the computer if they want to do something new because I know they will end up probably bricking the computer and THEN saying "Hey come help me out". Explaining to my uncle why he was having trouble with his PayPal account (he had two of them open) was hell. Ugh.
I've been using computers since I was 7 and making batch files for The Incredible Machine. I won't need help unless I want to program or hack something.
I'm sorry, mine and others too. I fixed more than a fair share of OTHER peoples computers too. Do you just want me to tell you I need you? Ok Thrash, I NEED YOU, PLEASE OH GOD I NEED YOU.

I'm not trying to be a know-it-all whatsoever, I'm just stating my experience, which is that as the years go on my need to reach out for help (when fixing basic to moderate shit for myself or anyone else) from someone more knowledgeable than me has been few and far between.
Whatever the case, I personally think we should settle this with a respectful battle to the death. Whoever wins is declared Board Computer Technician & Annoying Know-It-All Douche.
