It's a love/hate thing. I hate plumbing when I do it badly and it leaks. But I love plumbing when I've actually put in the hours and got it to work. Same thing with computers .. sometimes I shout, "I Hate Computers!" when they're not doing what I want, but most of the time they purr along nicely, and I've got them to do some pretty clever things over the years.

Plumbing is nice because I get to enjoy it every day, but I treat computers a bit like fish treat water -- I'm not always aware that it's even there.
