      I once had a caller claim he was one of the dudes that invented the internet. I was like … well you certainly haven’t kept up with things since then…

      I usually see the reverse. People who work with computers making every effort NOT to need to help.

      My favorite is a friend who does techsupport for a datacenter. He always asks “wait, this computer you’re having trouble with, can you lift it? Would you say it’s smaller than your fridge? Oh, sorry, then I can’t help you”

        I haven’t troubleshot windows in years. I fix switches, firewalls, Linux, and some mac issues.

        Its like I can’t fix a BMW or Audi but can still work on other cars.
