What's mildly amusing you today?

Technology has totally passed me buy.

I was a relatively early adopter of home computer/interwebz, for these parts, and without having the computer knowledge. I started with Windows 3.1 and knew how to use the dos prompt to get where I needed.

I can barely read websites anymore. I still haven't figured out my damn wireless crap (and I told them to just hook the freaking cable up I didn't need wireless) even though I've printed 9000 pages on what I should do.

I know I should call but calling tech support is a giant anxiety trigger for me. I have been helped a lot by many techies but I also get the ones who talk to you like you're the dumbest person on earth. Which makes me a deer in the headlights unable to speak (like what happened with HR last week.)

Just a tangent. I used to think myself fairly computer savvy. No more.
