Being an electronics engineer by traning, I have a fascination with anything electronic or having to do with computers.

What surprises me is that my kids, who are not engineeringly inclined, are even better at operating this stuff than I am. They grew up with it so it comes naturally to them.

I, on the other hand, have to work at it. But I will say I am better at diagnosing computer problems than they are. That is my one saving grace.

Well Ed I am pretty good around my computer,can fix most problems if they occur in windows.But things like these new generation mobile phone baffle me.My sons new phone the hand book guide is 249 pages its like a bleeding library book.They must had cut down half the rainforest to supply the paper. And to do anything on the bloody things, are so long winded,Menus into sub-menus and so on.But do we actually need all these features,do we use all of these things.To most people I would doubt,think its a little bit like Tourbillons,they are most prestigious among the world of complications in watches.But in reality of little real bloody use in the wrist watch world.
