The other day we had the "fall festival" at my ten year kid's school, where I ran into their computer teacher. He told me he was having issues with their connection and couldn't figure it out. My daughter told him to reboot the router, and sure enough it worked.

Kids these days.... Computers are easy for them.

He will get the most badass computer because he will spend $995 for components and build it himself.
