How computer savvy are you?

Here's a question for all you Ops and Despatch people out there...

How computer savvy are you?

By that I don't mean how many of you can use MS Office, run & file a FPL online, send an email or know how to reboot a PC.

I mean how many of us Ops Bods are actually able to create a web-page from scratch, set up an office network or even build your own PC?

Most Ops people I know are very intelligent people who often have quite "geeky" interests, eg plane spotting, train spotting, Flight Simulating, Stamp Collecting, etc. and often have encyclopedic knowledge on some very obscure things. By our very nature we would probably make great computer geeks!

I just wondered, in this interweb day and age, how many of us...especially those younger Ops Bods who've grown up with PCs in the home...would consider themselves IT literate or are even remotely interested in computers...

Yes, they can be used for other things, apart from surfing the web for porn on night-shifts!
