Professionals don't think of their customers as "dumb".  Then again, if
they actually were willing to pay someone like you who thinks of them as
idiots, maybe it is a self-fullfilling prophecy.

Indispensable??  I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I want to *do* with my computer would be right out the door.
