@jessta @phocks I go back a few years before that, ~2004 or 2005 where I switched to Linux, then Mac in 2011 and now use both. So yes, I resemble this remark.

@adamhsparks @jessta @phocks

WinXP was the time that 1/2 of my activity switched to Linux OS. Then Win10 came and I bailed completely.

But yes, in the day I was 100% the one extended family would tap to help with problems. Seeing how some systems have Windows so catastrophically baked into the hardware I don't even want to touch people's laptops anymore. I'm out of touch with the current idiocy.

Yeah, all those newbies thinking they know everything.

It is we who invented fixing computers and taught them.

We were assembling computers from zero when they were in diapers!
