I realize that to a lot of people the computer really is a black box that you need to keep closed and safe or the smoke will come out and it will stop working. They look at nerds such as myself as arcane keepers of knowledge that are passed down with bizarre rituals that involve the speaking in acronyms and much nodding over numbers. Frankly, half the time the dumb thing doesn't do what I want it to either! I was very amazed last night that it worked on the first try. I have been doing a musical chairs with computers at RCC recently. Our finance computer broke down and the motherboard on the laptop is just too spendy to buy, so we got a new laptop. But we don't care about the finance computer very much since it sits most of the time, so the new laptop was given to Pastor Dean, all his stuff moved over and then we waited for a while. Just to make sure everything worked properly. That took about a week of some pain, but now he's functional and all is good. So I removed the brain from his laptop, put in the finance laptop and it worked! Yep, first try and everything. Of course, that is what it is supposed to do, but dang if it actually works out that way for me ever! So I'm amazed!
