you & computers
...I know I'm not a pro but I know how to get rid of those pesky viruses, trojan, etc...
since I'm the only one in my family who can fix the computer i know a tiny tiny bit about 'em..my specialty on the comp is digging/finding information not the hardware drives and etc

I hear you say "Why?" Always "Why?" You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

I'm a little more then decent when it comes to computers. I pride myself on being able to fix my problems but better yet avoid them.
I have to say I hate my Mac because there is so much padding around it. I'm used to being able to search out files and fiddle around but Mac makes it impossible to change ANYTHING. HATE.

hmmm I picked basic, but maybe I should have went with others ....
I know the basic, plus took a class in high school that taught me a bit. Along with my husband being A+ certificated (in something related to computers), I ask , he answers , I learn more. So I guess it's a bit above the basics.
Ctrl+ Shift+ T that's something I use alot. Along with Alt+tab, and Ctrl+ print screen.
Yes yes, I know I make longwinded comments, but that's just me >.<
I should proof read my comments more, but I won't...
So keep in mind I'm filled with typos

I'm surprised there's no distinction between being really good at it and actually doing it professionally.
I'm a pro as in I do software development for a living.

I picked the "proud Linux user"..
I'm far from being a pro.. just what a university student should know - a bit of C, a bigger bit of C++, some Java.. Some Hiren's Boot to make my old, bad-sectored hard drive work (I love it's sound. trattatatata tratatata grrHHHHkk)
Usually when I have problems with my computer I'd search stackoverflow and copy-paste commands to see it they would work.. And re-install the system if it goes wrong ^.^=

I know the basics... But if I got a blue screen on my laptop that's when I have to call to a pro 😀

I'm also a proud Linux user just because I have experts in my family that erased Windows but I only know the basics.

I'm not a pro, but I usually know to fix my computer. with google though. I baked my motherboard once. it was fun. although I baked the CMOS battery too, now I know what s cmos battery is. and what it does. I guess people learn with mistakes.
if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.

I know the basics. Oh... and I enjoy scripting in Ruby 😛
