Guilty as charged: I don't give a flying crap how things work! I simply expect them to do so, particularly when I've made a substantial investment in them. Saulgoldie hs sussed out my position exactly: my work is also academic in nature, and my feeling is that there are plenty of other things I *need* to know; my computer is a tool that enables me to concentrate on the things about which I *do* give a crap!

Dilettantishly,
