It never ceases to amaze me how some of these younger people can be so natural when it comes to advanced computer skills.When i try to understand some of this "stuff"i am just left feeling really dumb.
But then again i have seen some of these extremely intelligent people stuff up when trying the most simple handyman jobs.I guess we all have our own forte in life i just wish i could understand the tech side of computers more.
