Nothing wrong with "tinkering".  Big woop, wanna fight about it? ;)

 
Freedom-hating trolls have fought about it, over the years. "Tinkering"
was attacked and ridiculed.  The time it takes to do a bit of research
and try a few options was attacked as tragic.

One wonders if the trolling creeps also attacked people who "wasted
valuable time" watching TV or going for a walk or whatever, as if those
fscking assholes should be the judge of how others choose to spend their
time.

They'd rather go watch "Big Bang Theory" than "tinker".  That's their
choice.

I don't watch TV, so I can justify "wasting time" writing in
various places (on the USENET being one of them), as well as
"tinkering" and "meddling" with systems.

(Just because I do it, and have the time to mess around,
doesn't mean I expect anyone else to fiddle with such things...)

 
Of course not, any more than those of us who specify and build our PC's
from components expect everyone else to.

I used to build my own PC's, until decided to buy a turnkey
system this last go-around.

It was delivered shrink-wrapped on a pallet.
