Speaking as one of the maytag repairman for computers, I am proud to say
that as long as we have computers we will still need to fix them.  I
look forward to seeing more and more HARDWARE Illiterate people, and
recognize that the computer is a tool.  Accountants know how a
spreadsheet works not a computer (unless they took the time to find out
on their own), y'all just keep breaking them and I'll just keep fixing
them
