Hi guys, I read this thread with interest as a newbie and would like to lay an egg too.
I think I have learnt that there must be a good balance between asking for help and willingness to learn Most of the PC fundis who help others have learnt and gained knowledge through hard work and perseverance, and most of them have patience teaching others , remembering where they came from . Many PC fundis ( experts ) though, suffer from a strange illness that has the same general symptom ..which is : They all say " ag no man ! it's easy - look here ! " and they go click.. click.. clickety. click...enter.. enter and walla ! it works....and when the flabbergasted newbie ( often older than 60 years - like me ) asks what they did, then they start muttering in a secret coded computer language ....like my son
Then we get the newbie that has the attitude that they must be served immediately, but they don't understand that those fundis are busy too, and some of the newbies want to be spoon fed and have their bread buttered on both sides, instead of doing their own bit by learning the basics like that funny computer language and how stuff works. As a newbie I will try to remember that the fundis also want to play with their trains and i must read the forum rules and check previous answers and do some of my own homework too..:wave:
