Apparently I cannot switch off tech support mode. Was just in my local stationary shop buying a nice pen (for fic writing) and there was a lady in front of me asking about printers. The girl behind the counter seemed pretty clueless so I spent about 10 mins chatting to the lady about different options.
Felt good about it afterwards so it must have clocked me some karma points. LOL!

*sigh* Should I get a laptop?
*realises she's gone off topic again*
Anyway..geeking out on people is fun. I had a nice talk with a guy in a store about cameras a few weeks ago..

I was trying to fix my dad's PC last weekend and let me tell you troubleshooting Vista is IMPOSSIBLE!
