I guess I can claim some geekness if I have to, but you know, I just have to try and be different. What makes me a nub?
Years ago when I was working in R&D on virtual reality, I had to install a dial-up modem on my traveling computer but failed at the attempt. I called in a technician without giving it a second try because I figure I just saved the company a bunch of money. It's way cheaper to pay him $50 an hour than paying me $/hour to RTFM.
I purchased a digital answering machine 2 years ago and it's still not hooked up. The fine prints are too small for my failing eyes to read comfortably, so I asked the kids to set it up and record a message and get it online. It's still sitting there unused. My eye problem probably started when I was debugging programming codes on a TV screen - trying to discern if it's a. or,
When the timer on the vcr (yes, vcr, you know, tape) blinks I will ask whoever is around why it's blinking, because I am too lazy to reset it. That's what kids are for, right?
