Ha ha, yep, I getya. Windoze and lack of decent broadband connectivity are the reasons so many people don’t bother being digitally engaged. If we had fibre to the home and linux/macs and OpenOffice we would have no need to help anyone would we? But it’s nice to do good things for people and bring some joy.

I’ve probably learned more from helping random strangers at these surgeries than anywhere else this last year or so. And I kinda regret calling them “social media surgeries” back in the day as it’s slightly more than that, though it does stop people asking how to fix Windows. I don’t fix Windows. ;)

‘It’d be good to get that buzz once a week.’
that just about sums it up.
That’s why I do IT. As ye give, so shall ye receive. Giving out good advice, getting a buzz, and learning all the time, what people need, what they want, adding to your own collection of knowledge and helping others.
We call ours a computer club. Nobody round here knows what a social media surgery is, but what’s in a name? A rose by any other name smells as sweet. ;)
keep rockin
