   Yeah, I'm an "expert" from the same era as you are and also have had   
   the same experiences but I think what sets us apart from "consumers" is   
   the fact that we "get it".  You never have to relearn something as the   
   basic concept is the same.  We are thinking a like on this, friend..   
   But where I become an expert is in the ability to manipulate the   
   command line and even do some programming as well as some A.S.S. work.   
   This is what boggles many peoples minds and it does so for me too just   
   to think that one can survive in today's office environment and not be   
   able to just get to work regardless of the OS.   
      
   Whether you're lacing your workboots or your wingtips they are still   
   shoe laces and they tie up pretty much the same way.  Don't get me   
   started on loafers!  ;)
