nope it was project we did with our tech teacher to boost our grades. i never touched my homework since '07. maybe i might not know so much since i was around 12 but i might be able to tell you somethings

No, I don't doubt that you know what you claim you do, but I'm quite sure that there isn't much you could teach me. XD
I have quite a lot of training. :p

It seems like my whole family except for my uncle, my mom, and me now anything about technology. Not just computers, but just about anything that needs to be plugged in. It's extremely irriatating

It annoys the hell out of me when kids in my grade & lower ask others "Do you know how to put music on my ipod/mp3/phone?" Who the hell between the ages of 13 & 25 can't?

My Grandma recently switched from AOL Dial-up to Cable Internet. I have the same problem.
It's so annoying. @_@
It's just like... please... please actually listen when I tell you and try to remember. XD

Yea, my most common problem with friends and family is the explicit lack of ability to actually use Google. I wasn't aware a simple search engine was that hard to use. XD

Haha, I've used it a couple times, but honestly, I don't want to explain it to them, I certainly won't go through all that trouble. XD

I don't think I'm particularly knowledgeable regarding computers, but compared to most kids in my class I pretty much invented the computer. In my English class, we had to use brand new laptops which only had Open Office on them (no Word), so people were flipping out all over the place about how they wouldn't be able to transfer their file to Word in the computer lab the next day. At home I use Open Office all the time, so everyone rushed to me for help. When I told them to convert the file from an ODF to a DOC, 90% of the class (including the teacher) didn't understand me. I'd like to emphasize that these are high school seniors we're talking about here. I thought that after 12 years of schooling it was pretty reasonable to assume that they knew how to change a file type. But I had to first teach the teacher how to do it, and then he showed the rest of the class. That was a sad day, but I like helping people so I didn't really mind.

I don't know anything about how a computer actually runs, though. As far as computer safety and such, I'm pretty much lost. I don't have my own personal computer, and my dad manages the family computer, so I really have no place to learn.

I'm pretty sure you don't even need to convert the files from OpenOffice to MS Office.
