    Quoth Geek King View Post
    True, but then I used to work in an office where the average user was a female above the age of 50. Not exactly the most computer literate social strata, individual exceptions aside. I got very good at teaching basic computer skills in easy-as-possible terms. I think the female to male ratio in the office was 40:3 at one point, and two of those males were myself and my coworker in the IT/server room.

    On the other hand, it was often like having thirty grandmothers, or so.
    I have to admit, having a warped sense of humour, to having ever so much fun watching the reactions & faces of techs like you when they encounter me. I definitely fit into your group above - over 50, grandmother, on the cuddly side of weight.

    Cause I got my computer degree back in '83 after several years as a user, have owned a series of home computers since long, long before windows or the internet were up and running. Spent over a decade as a programmer on government contracts, still do all my own troubleshooting and fixing. Basically a geek in a grandmother's body, LOL.

    Madness takes it's toll....
    Please have exact change ready.
