Hey, I'm probably at the low end of the technology oriented. Not a complete dunce, but nowhere near as knowledgeable as many people on the list. However, I can burn a CD or DVD, or copy my files to a second hard drive easily enough. I may not always know the fastest way to do things, and I don't know squat about writing scripts or such things, but it's far from rocket science. Copying all my files to a USB hard drive takes all of a minute of my time. While the machine churns away, I'm having a nice hot cup of tea, playing with my cats, photographing, or doing something else. Operating a computer is, for many tasks, no more difficult than operating a dishwasher.
