Eddie recently purchased a brand new Sony Vaio notebook. Besides the daily web surfing which he planned to use it for, he hoped to learn more about Windows.

So he knocks on my bedroom door everyday when I am sleeping and attempts to interest me with numerous how-to-do-this and how-to-do-that questions. I don’t blame that poor sod. This happens often in the late afternoon. Normal human beings would at least be half-awake by then. I wish I could be normal, but I don’t want to.

Moving on…

Like everyone else, he nodded along when I paused at the end of little sentences, explaining the entire processes on how this and that were done. The Newbie Frown as I affectionally called it. You could notice his blatant attempt to grasp every word from my mouth as we went along.

It did not go very well. He ended up with the same questions again the next afternoon.

The way I see it, there are two kinds of people in the world: the ones who get it and the ones who don’t. If they get it, fine, there’s nothing to explain. If they don’t, there’s no point in trying to explain. They won’t get it. Move on.
