01 Sep 05 Cars & Computers

I make a living from computers, but hey, one shouldn’t be despondent if you’re not a computer literate. I don’t profess to know that much, on the grand scale of things – the whole picture is just too vast. But I know what I need to know to do what I have to do, and learn more about the ever expanding technology all the time. Quite simply I enjoy the challenge.

On the other hand, take the car. Like most people, I drive one. For me it’s a functional thing. A box that takes me from A to B. Sure, I’d like a luxury limo for a more comfortable ride, and perhaps more power under the hood (but I’d probably end up getting a ticket or six). Anyways, I know very little about cars. Like people ask me to fix their computers, I ask someone to fix my car when it needs it. I know I could buy the manual, and with some time and effort save myself a whole lot of greenbacks doing it myself.

I’d much rather be sitting inside in my cool air conditioned home office fixing a computer, and let someone else crawl about under my car in the heat… (I don’t know of too many air conditioned automotive repairers).

After the job’s done, I can enjoy a drive in the car, and the mechanic can cool off inside….
