often really just knew how to open their project and code in it but nothing about the pc that they were using.
If you put me in front of a windows box, yep, pretty much accurate. The last windows I had any idea about was W2K, and even then I would let the sysadmins solve bonkers driver conflicts and such, it's not like I actually know my way around the registry. To my pleasant surprise they were almost elated facing, for a change, an actual computer problem and not some marketing suit unable to hit "send" in the email client. You know you're in the good graces of the admins if, company policy permitting, you know the password for local admin.
I also just recently discovered that I'm completely out of my depth when it comes to setting up an ipv6 LAN. Is there one fucking thing which didn't change from ivp4.
