Hats off to those geeks!

My computer has just been reformatted.

Those who know me well will by now be amazed, since my computer phobia is a rather established fact. Well, me and my dear Fujitsu owe this fact to a very nice computing student that came to my house to help me reformat, on a Saturday when the weather's so nice to just sleep at home..and to top it off, I was supposed to at least learn how to reformat the computer myself but turned out I was chatting to his cousin n bro the whole time...huhuhu..Thanks again, dude!

Now, here's a bit of my conversation with him that spurred me to write this post:
Me: "Hm..so that's all there is to reformatting? Just insert the CD, click here click there,wait for a while and that's it? Ow...I guess in computing u have lotsa words like 'reformatting' or 'rewriting' , that sounds very cool but is actually very simple.."
H: *with more enthusiasm than called for* "What?! You know, it's simple because it's designed to be used by archi students who know nuts about computers! The interface has to be easily used by people who know nothing, but the thoughts and research behind it is complicated! you think computing students learn how to install windows software??? No! We learn how to design the programs so people can use it!"
Me: "Uhm..."

Yah well, I think it's very true actually...Thanks to all those geeks doing their jobs, the world is now all it is, what with the Internet, programmed machines and vehicles, CAD, etc etc...Brains clearly outdo brawns in today's world...

And so. Computing is a totally cool faculty.

Though not as cool as archi.
