I have a problem with this attitude, which is why I think most sysadmin types suck. Computers are the most complex devices we interact with on a daily basis. A basic NetBook with Windows running Google Chrome is hundreds of orders of magnitude more complex than the most complex automobile for instance. It is amazing to me that they are reliable at all. Have some respect for these machines, spend lots of time learning why they are the way they are (read kernel source, learn assembly, take apart a disk drive) and eventually they'll treat you right.
