I'm A Programmer, Not A Computer Guy
Quote:
A gentle warning to young or up-and-coming IT professionals: keep your professional identity a secret! Guard your privacy like a superhero, because before you can say "what do you mean reboot?", you'll be the neighborhood troubleshooter, constantly on call to save the day.

"Did you watch the Raiders game?"
"No, I don't follow football ------"
"What do you think of the new quarterback?"
"Really, football's not my thing. I don't know."
"I thought that you said that you're a sports fan?"
"No, I said that I watched tennis."
"Right, so what did you think of the penalty called in the Raiders game?"
"I watch tennis."
"Why would they call a penalty like that?"
Um.

The thing is that most programmers are also complete geeks whose hobbies include messing around with these machines. I'm not one of those, but apparently, I'm easily confused with them. Consequently, I'm what they would call, though I'd never lay claim to the name, an "expert."
i got a laugh out of this article/blog, give it a read. :)
