Bah thats nothing.. Cheesy

Only joking, very impressive!!

Agreed most people are experts in various areas, if given the right components and decent screw driver i can built a PC from the ground up in around 20 mins, power suppler, motherboard, hard drives. At my old job i could get a PC built and have it installing windows within 20/25 mins...

I can do video editing too, pinicle for PC but it sucks, Final Cut Pro is good, generally most things regarding PC's are dead easy..

I used to be utterly useless when it came to cars, but now i can change the pads, do a oil & filter change, brake bleed and so on....

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Your Omega is leaking water from the passenger side wiper blade spindle and your plug wells are filling with water - what do you do if you are a Vx Techie?

Quite funny i am regarded as an expert... compared to newbies like hillper... Grin

Wrong again tunnie

You replace the bottom windscreen seal (under warranty thank God) and find it hasn't cured the problem.

Not exactly rocket science is it?
I'm 61, left school at 15 with no qualifications, spent most of my working life in the shoe trade, and I built my own computer.
I bought the parts from e-buyer, a mother board, CPU & fan, and memory as a bundle. Added a Hard drive. Video card, Sound card and CD burner. (I really must upgrade to DVD)
And a box to put them all in.
It took me about an hour, from opening the boxes, to beginning the installation of XP.
Including time spent reading the instructions. Smiley

Of course, the fact that you can't plug anything in the wrong slot helps. I think they are designed to be idiot proof, in as much that things will only fit in the correct slot. Smiley

In fact they must be idiot proof, or I wouldn't have been able to do it!! Smiley
