Not I am not. It wasnt that hard for me to read a guide and flash my drive. All knowledge I have of computers/electronic devices was learned through guides or self research. Like I said, if someone wont take the time to read a guide, have someone show them, just plain dont get it, or are afraid of taking the risk; they shouldnt be taking the risk of using a modded system (on XBL no less).
P.S. I would not let someone pay me to mod their system. I have done a few for friends. I make them pay me by paying attention to me and listening well when I first modded their system so they can do it themselves afterwards.
Ok, I don't want you to misinterpret what I was initially saying. From everything you've said, I totally understand your viewpoint. Most of the time, that's how I get "paid" for my services (I'd rather people be able to duplicate what I do, than be the only one when it comes to computers), however, I have several frinds that
1) Have a 360 but do not have a computer - yes, there are many people like this out there. Tech saavy is a moot point in this case, as telling them to go spend $300+ when to them the only purpose *would* be to re-flash. They have no interest in using a computer, but don't want to spend another $60 if their discs are damaged (one of my friends has to keep backups because his drive puts the ring around the disc).
2) No matter how thouroughly you SHOW them how to do something, they still can't grasp the concept. I've pointed them to tutorials, and even shown them step by step how to do it, but they CANNOT do it themselves.
3) Don't want to buy a SATA controller when the only thing they'd use it for is to flash their 360. I tell these people that they're just being cheap, or trying to cover for not wanting to learn.
Either way, if there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that no matter how easy something is to you, there's at least a million people who could never do that (not to say they couldn't do things you could never do, either). I'm a DJ, and to me, spinning records seems easy. I can blend, chop, flange, etc. on CD/Vinyl/MP3, and to me, it's a minor excersize. It took me forever to realise that it's easy to me because I've been familiar with turntables and mixers for quite a while, and it's just another craft.
In a perfect world, everyone would be able to keep up with things and do them just as you and I and the many knowledgable people here at x-s, but sadly that's just not the case. I would think that over 90% of the people who have a login here are definately capable of it, however (they may be intimidated by a task they've never done). I was mostly reffering to those outside of x-s, and a small handful of newbies here who don't seem interested in learning "how", when they can just learn "what" and find someone who's already capable of "how". They're usually reffered to as consumers (they demand the market; we don't create it per-se).
