I've just got to reply to Mike on his comment. I've been in the computer
field for nearly 44 years, and I've enjoyed every minute. It gets very
difficult to stay current, and there is SO MUCH to know, the question is
how to sort it all out and which things are important. The problem you
will learn as you get older, is your brain is just like a disk drive, it
is NOT infinite, there is a limit to the total amount of "data" you can
retain. Studies have determined that the human brain makes "decisions on
what "data" it should retain, and what data it needs to "delete". In
order to properly support users, you have a choice of retaining the info
that is pertinent so you can respond quickly to solve problems, versus
telling an impatient user that you need to "research" his issue and then
going and running a google search. You state that you don't always have
time, and you are correct. I don't know if you noticed, but their is
life other than Info Technology. At age 70, I figured that out a few
years back and I make sure I have time for non IT stuff!!!!!  That
results in less time for IT stuff!

I have one Mac here that is a company computer, and several more owned
by interns. I don't spend any amount of time with the Mac heads that is
worth speaking about. It's just normal stuff. As for wild stories,
that's a two way street. It sounds like your comfortable with where
you're at and not interested in learning any more. I guess I'm the
opposite. Bring it, I say. I love learning new stuff even though I don't
always have the time for it.

I am just tired of listening to Mac heads make up wild stories <snip>
Walk in my shoes and then decide if punishing a Mac user like that is or
is not therapeutic.
