So my DH is soooo not a techie. I think, in fact, that when he calls up tech support at work, they see his name on caller id and groan (possibly they even might fight over who has to take his call). I love him to death, but it would be so much easier if he paid a little eensy bit of attention to technology. Shhhh. Don't tell, but he hasn't even mastered the universal remote control I got him last x-mas yet. Ugh.

I convinced him to get a new computer because his laptop was beyond help. So then today, I've spent the ENTIRE day thus far having to install everything and then answer 50 million questions about what it is doing and/or why it doesn't look/act like his old computer. LOL. :dizzy

Good thing I love him so much.

Do you guys have to deal with this? Am I the only one? Or are your significant others tech savvy?
 
My husband is a software developer, so no. In fact, he looks over my shoulder and gets annoyed that I do things the way I do because in his opinion there's always a better/easier/faster way. Leave me alone, I'm perfectly happy over here. LOL
 
My husband isn't very Mac savvy yet. I just got him to switch a few months ago. He has a bit of a grasp of it since I've had a Mac for 3+ years, but he does still have to ask me for help.

But he's very tech savvy. He even teaches me some things in PS sometimes!
 
LOL! We're the opposite. DH builds computers, so I'm always desperately trying to get him to leave me alone when he doesn't think I'm doing something 'right'. ;)
 
Sounds like you are married to my husband. lol. Same thing here and he gets so frustrated when things do not go his way. He is not handy around the house either. We have to call his Dad to be our Mr. Fix it...lol
 
How funny! I'm the 'Techie' in our household. I always say that my DH is so computer illiterate that he can't spell PC. LOL

And I teach and assist people everyday on using computers and yet my husband just drives me crazy because he just doesn't get it.
 
I am the tech guy here ... Funny too because DH is Sr manager of engineering for Subaru and I didn't even know how to turn a computer on 5 years ago... Now I run circles around him with all our gadgets and have to help him with just about everything. He is amazed by what I can figure out tech wise.

Click to expand...

That is how me and hubby are too. He gets mad when I do something he doesn't like - that is why we have separate computers.
 
Quite the opposite. I'm forever calling him asking him to 'fix' something I've managed to screw up on my computer! lol. He has a minor in something or another computer stuff, so he's forever telling me how to do things and trying to teach me 'shortcuts' and installing cool new gadgets and programs that I never use and delete a week later. lol. I'm fine taking the long way home. Thank you very much! lol.
 
No, thank goodness! He's the techie one around here, always ready to fix minor and major issues. :) I still remember how grateful I was the first time he showed me we had Time Machine and was able to recover a LO that my Photoshop had completely messed up when I last saved it.
 
Yep, we're both pretty techie in our house... in fact, in the last few years, my hubbie has taken such an interest in computers and building them himself, that I've gotten lazy and fallen behind in learning all the new stuff. Now I just make him be my IT guy! :)
 
Yes, my DH is severely technologically challenged. I think a lot of it had to do with his ADHD, so now that we have that under control, maybe he will be more interested in learning abt computers and other gadgets.

Running tech support for my MIL and mom is MUCH MUCH worse! :giggle Lord help me if I have to explain one more time how to transfer photos from their cameras to their computers...
 
Thank god No my hubby knows enough about technology, it's my fil that drives me crazy he'll call us a zillion times a week asking computer/or computer related questions. It took us a long time to teach him how to double click a mouse LOL!
 
This is funny, I was just thinking about this the other day... seems like I always hear people around digi land talking about their DH and how he can fix anything, or build a computer... so I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm not even that good with computers, but I def know more than my DH, bless his heart.
 
I'm in exactly the same boat you're in. I have to do EVERYTHING! If he accidentally hits a button and things are different and he can't access things the way he was doing it, he panics. I've had to try to help him while he's been in Alaska. He holds the webcam to his computer to show me what's going on and I have to trouble shoot it for him.

I'm NOT a patient teacher at all!!!!!!
