Queen Elizabeth and the computer.

Queen Elizabeth visited a computer company headquarters and was given a private information session and tour of the factory. When she came out a reporter asked if she now understood the computer. Her reply was brilliant "I not only do not understand the computer, I do not understand the computer, i do not understand the people who do understand computers."

I, myself, have my own thoughts: "How will I ever master something that you have to go to (start) to turn it off."
I can use a couple of computer tools. One is office and other is emails.
However, I have written several textbooks, hundreds of sermons and a multitude of other things.
They say that little bit of knowledge is dangerous, so I pray that not one of you goes blind or has adverse physical problems.

I can sympathize...

Wasn't always aware one went to "start" to turn off the computer

You missed it, back in 1995, windows did it. I guess you were still learning English.

No... I just didn't know you could do it that way... I used to hit the button...

I was 11 in '95...Read and wrote at a university level...For quite some time...

Of course that's not saying much these days
