Because it's his job. Not yours. Would you expect him to know the most basic thing about Victorian smelting? Now hush. ;-)

It's a special talent that we have ;-) I keep walking past machines and they mysteriously fix themselves as I do so - just as the user is saying "help".

Tech support reserve the right to fix any problem in a matter of seconds, especially if it makes the end user look like a blathering idiot. *nods*

It's in the tech support rulebook.

Most of us geeks develop hairy palms, this is usually after the pen holder phase, so if you were a cd writer would you want to be touched? It's only really this week that i've notice how bad i've become, my only salvation is an ability to drink, possibly to block out the pain of geekdom.

I'm sure computers are semi-sentient, and they know when someone savvy is about to dismantle them if they don't behave.

That, or it's computer empathy, but that's a treasonous mutation...
