> I agree that knowing how to program and knowing how to work a computer are not necessarily related. Generally, people who know how to program are also very handy with computers, but in a modern environment, programming isn't as necessary as it used to be.

I know (and work with) all sorts of programmers who can't do the simplest of tasks in MS Word or troubleshoot basic computer problems. It's weird, but definitely happens. Programming is a specific computer skill, but it's not exactly the end-all be-all of being computer savvy.
