This is what I try to tell everybody who wants to do the whole "I can't understand how to use computers" schtick, and it's still often too much to handle.

Yeah, it seems that so many people are that way about so many things. And at some point I honestly thing it is bad for you.

Sometimes learning to do the thing and then doing it yourself is a FAR better experience for your well being even if you get worse results in twice the time and at double the cost versus paying somebody to do it for you.
