I think that was stated quite eloquently. I am used to people who want to learn and those who are interested only because they get a day away from the office. I have found that there is a certain percentage of the population who no matter how much you work with them will never see the CD-Rom drive for anything more than a cup holder. (See previous posts) But I have also found that there are some people who will actually take the time to try to learn and 'try' to remember what you tell them, 'IF' you are patient with them and don't get frustrated with the fact that they can't understand the acronyms you are using around them. The short and sweet of it is, most computer people have a nasty habit of looking down on people who don't have their level of competence. Don't get snippy with people who ask for your guidence, get snippy with those who demand your competence.
