Re: "I go to the local computer store and, instead of them speaking
computerese and me being confused, I ask technical questions and they don't
understand them."

No offense to any readers who might also sell computers, but it seems to me
that most computer strores are run by "business" people who don't know the
first thing about computers and who might as well be selling power tools or
home appliances.  They'd probably be better off selling appliances -- When
was the last time you went into an appliance store to ask about the ROM in
your microwave oven?
