Hello Lee.
IMO, In the article,
it's the snobby critics who have little regard for people and their intelligence. I could never repair my auto and need a good mechanic technician to fix things. They are very important to me. Just looking at all the issues in play, across the board, with all Operating Systems, IMO, techies are very important. ... not referring to nimrods who chastise every detail of 8, but rather the geek squad who likes to solve problems. They are needed around here.

Really not talking all techies. And, yes there is a need for technical people especially in the world of business, and communications. The ones I am talking about are those who keep using the phase, "The Average User." Who is the average user. Can someone look at a person and determine that individual is an average computer user; no. I consider myself an average user so does that mean I do not have the ability to learn or understand any OS regardless if it is Win 8, Mac OS X or linux. Again, no.
BTW, up here in the central mountains of Idaho you have to be able to fit your vehicle and your computer; the nearest repair shops are 100 miles away in Boise. And, at this time of the year (already two feet of snow) it can be hard getting there. Though getting new shoes for my horses can be done at the local blacksmith place.
