Just last night, as I was helping a friend of mine understand a program on his computer, he turned to me and said he thought I should have a job working with computers. Made me think - what kind of job did he think I had???
I gave out a few techie gifts this Christmas, and I was delighted to see almost everyone started reading manuals just moments after opening their gifts - even me!
