Laments of a Lonely Geek

Sidney · 15th September 2007, 18:04

This is my first blog/article at HardwareLogic. I’m pretty
long-winded, and was advised in the forums that I should use lots of
pictures. I try to please. I guess that this is somewhat of an
explanation of why I like hardware forums, part of why I write long,
rambling posts, and a little bit of a rant at the level of computer
knowledge that the people in my day-to-day life have…or lack thereof.

Don't feel lonely; computer is getting more like household hardware. You can easily call a handyman working in hardware store a geek who knows everything from gardening tool, plumbing, concrete mix, wall-paper, dry wall, lumber, swimming pool ...... etc. You can handle the latest solar panel to a kitchen sink repair.

You meet people from all walks of life daily, some you like and others you don't. But, it is not who you meet that gets you to your store; you are there because you are needed.
