Yes I agree there are quite a few of us 40-50+ who know a lot about the operations of a computer! and if anyone has ever bought a 'lemon' and had to get into the workings of it they will, like me learn somewhat fast! But personally the people that sell you a computer, should at least point you in the right direction if not put the items on for you (as mine did at source) and yes I at one time came across the (it updates automatically) syndrom. No one explained to that poor person that it doesn't unless YOU tell it to! Then there is the person who believes they won't be affected as they don't use the net that often! until they get a bug and it all goes t*ts up! Not me I hassen to add.
