I'm a really smart guy, but I don't know jack about computers. Everyone says, "oh, they're so easy to understand". (I am talking about building one, or figuring out why one isn't working right.) Not to me. All that jargon is Greek to me. Doesn’t mean I'm stupid, it's just not my area of expertise, so I avoid it. I encourage others to know what they are good at and stick with that. If you're not a mechanic, don't try to be one. Put in some extra time at your real job and make some extra money, then pay someone who owns the tools and possess the knowledge to do the hard stuff.
I'm with you completely on the computer thing. I hate them, when ever they wont do what I want them to because I can't figure out how to make them again do what they are supposed to.... and because I can't fix/modify the variety that run cars trucks and equipment, I much prefer old mechanical versions.
