Also, I find it quite rude when someone assumes people should have knowledge of how to navigate the internet. Sure they've been around awhile, but people who have been around longer than computers tend to find it difficult to navigate. Not everyone, but really, how many people have you heard of that laugh at the fact that their moms or dads suck with technology? lol

I'm glad you've shown that you know how to use a search engine, congratulations. But the reason why I use italics has already been stated, if I wanted to change it I would have.

Alright. You claim that after you turn on a computer, that you should learn how to use it, which would also include proper upkeep and maintenance. So, question for you. Do you know how to ping a website, find a list of all the hardware on your computer, and edit your IP/subnet mask/DNS? These are three basic things. If you answer no to any one of these, then you have no right to complain about people not being computer savvy.

Both of you obviously missed where I said "in most cases" meaning it doesn't apply to everyone. But to answer your question, yes actually I can do quite a few of those and for what I don't know, I can do like Kdreptiles just showed they also know how to do and run a search on how to. If for what ever reason that doesn't work then I'll take it upon myself and find someone who does know how. See how that works, and we're back to my original post.

Lol did anybody miss the sarcasm this time, because I didn't use any smileys until now .
