This is amazing isn't?

It makes you feel good as there is still plenty of clever people out there.
(well... may be "plenty" is an overstatement)

What really puzzles me is that when you need them, you can't find them so easily. To hire a so called "computer expert" at work, to install a new Windows release, we spent something in the range of 300/400 Euros/day but if you ask him something more then simply runnintg the installer CD, most of the times they don't understand what you are talking about..
How comes?
