    Used to be, you could say “computers”. You were then branded by your peers as a fucking weirdo but it was a hobby.

      Can you fix my printer?

      Can you check if I got a virus? My Hotmail keeps emailing viruses to people.

      I’ve got this amazing business idea, I’ll be the idea man, you just have to make it

        I remember a time when a friend came up to me in middle school and asked to “fix an issue with Microsoft word” she was having, and I took a sec and just said “I have no idea how to fix that issue”.

        Even at that time I didn’t know anything about the Microsoft office suite, I was basically just very into Linux at that time.
