Computers... hate 'em or love 'em

I've always hated to be around technophobes. Not sure why, guess in my mind it showed a distinct relucatance towards progression of technology. And probably for no other reason, than at least the ones I know, dislike technology for disliking sake. They were people who disliked change and refused to think abuot change in themselves too! Or their lives.

But computers... I have a love hate relationship with them. If they go wrong and I can't fix it, I hate 'em. But when they are doing precisely what they are supposed to do, love 'em. They save me endless hours and often let me do things would not be able to otherwise do at all.

And I "hate" (term used loosely) people who have computers, and they have had one a while, and if they get a problem expect someone else... i.e a friend to fix it, when often its their own lack of taking care that has made it sick in the first place. Not being virus protected, not doing computer maintenace etc. I have spent hours of my life, working on friends computers like this, and begrudge that time now gone. As if they'd have used the computer at the top of their body, it mostly would not have happened.
