I have my own personal customised registry inspection system and cleaner... D.O.C.

You should never use "or" in an acronym! Don't you know the acronym rules?

I agree with you in the main Z.

It's the level of understanding that's in question here - you know you have to put fuel in you Skyline, granted, but you don't need to know the inner workings of the internal combustion engine.

Similarly, I agree simple hard drive maintenance is a must, but again, you don't need to know exactly how data is written to and retrieved from it.

Well I am one of those guys who knows the inner workings of the internal combustion engines. But it is my opinion.

And you are respected for having an opinion rather than flowing with the masses.

Z,

I take it you are either not married or haven't been married. Having a wife sure puts a different view on things like car maintenance and PC maintenance, or even yard work for that matter (my little German girl is somewhat old world about the guys and gals thing). It puts a whole new spin on driving a car, filling it up and the maintenance thing (oil, tires, transmission fluid and the like).

So I can appreciate how some people can turn on a computer (filling it with gas) and use the GUI (driving even in PC terms), yet not know how change the oil, check the brakes.etc. (disk maintenance, etc.). I think you are like quite a few of us out here that by either virtue of our own curiosity or by our profession have come to know technology inside out.

I take it that you have either always been whipped or became whipped after your little german girl.

Well... you could look at it that way doc, or you can look at it as I can't find a decent woman who knows the importance of basic maintenance. I've found a few but I guess it's not my time yet. Some people don't have the attention span to even want to think about the possibility that it could be important, that is what I am talking about.
