Absolutely demonic.
Still love the truck, though
This guy sounds worse than my dad.
He knows just enough about computers to think of himself as very technical, and he's very much a "Windows guy". Now, he's not bad at computers, he doesn't break things, he's genuinely very experienced and skilled, with Windows systems at least. But he is... very tied to that paradigm, and when the differences in computer operating systems now and in history does come up, he can be... very sectarian.
There is a reason the little stuffed penguin on my purse zipper is a cutesy girly thing, and I never ever talk to him about computers unless I can use a truly idiotic line like "what's an operating system?" or "where's the "any" key?" or "what's a caps lock?" (He doesn't buy the truly stupid questions, but he takes them as jokes and laughs at me making fun of my own tech illiteracy, and he buys that the moderately dumb crap is asked in good faith.) The arguments are bound to be unproductive and frustrating and sure to last for weeks, so I've learned from watching others to pretend to think technology is magic and he's a wizard, and never ever tell him when I think he's doing something incorrectly or not the way I'd do it.
