I know exactly what you mean mate.... I do the same. The Internet today allows us to no longer have to go learn everything from scratch because someone else has no doubt had the same issue and posted it upon the
www.... we find that, then we fix our problem. I love the Internet for its usefulness.... though I also despise it for its nonsense. Go figure! I did my computer technician qualification about 15 years ago now, and let me just say that WOW.... there was a massive shift in technology for a decade, yet it has seriously slowed down now where they are becoming more like a pharmaceutical company..... trying to improve already known things as they are back in that "looking" phase IMO for the next big technology break to go even smaller and faster.
