   Kids in their 40s and 50s like my husband and I also didn’t make it past WWII in their world and American history courses. The problem is twofold.

    Techies are like serial killers. They look just like everyone else, until they sneak up and pummel you to death with endless stories about bizarre server setups and stupid customers.
