3. Ever wonder how the 'tech gods/goddesses' figure things out?

I'm 100%% certain that they all use Google/Youtube! (Speaking from 40/yrs experience as a female IT Tech/Support Goddess).

...Back in the day, before Google, we would have to find manufacturers site and download (painfully slow bit rates back then), drivers to make things work! God forbid you loaded the wrong driver for your monitor... I digress. You booted with one disk, then have to swap it if you wanted to save anything. Those were the days (not! Give me Plug-n-Play!)

But you must hear this, Marthe48: Job Well done! The manufacturers want you to only buy their ink, and they will steer you to their solution. It requires diligence, testing, and persistence! Again, Job Well Done!

I recently used Google/YouTube to help me figure out how to change the lamps in my car! It was a very proud moment.

Reminds me of this:

"Every Woman Needs a Man Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle!

(or, better put, Every Woman Needs Google/Youtube for General Life Help)
