[QUOTE]I just don't understand[/QUOTE]

I was first introduced to a computer screen and processor when our remote sales office was hooked into the company reservation system (piggybacked onto the BOAC (BA?) system), in 1973 or 1974, I forget. I remember saying to the nerd in charge of the installation "I just don't understand" quite often.

The last time I said "I just don't understand" about a computer problem was a hour ago when my router implacably refused to let me collect data via a VPN.

Working on an assumption that I have said "I just don't understand" about a computer system at least 5 times every working day since 1974, usually followed by "****** computers", that's 42,000 times I have said it. and I still just don't understand.
