I decided to call them that! Hardware and Software people/approach. Two people can attempt solving a problem in different ways.
Imagine this scenario, PC, cable and another system/gadget. The cables is used to drive data from PC to system. If the PC suddenly says cable problem when you are trying to push the data to the connected device, how do you solve the problem?
Hardware people start off by touching the cable! Making sure that the cable is properly connected at both ends and maybe replace it with another cable just to make sure that the cable is not the cause and go on from there to solve the problem.
Software people start with restarting the application and maybe re-install/update the driver. They may even examine the cable settings from the PC, the bit rate, connection type, device type, etc. and go on from there to solve the problem.
Both might end up solving the problem, it could’ve been a loosely connected cable or improper settings, two different mind sets with the same aim.

And you are? Hardware I guess

I would start off by kicking the PC.
There’s always a third option.

Haider: While I might do it my self, if I see you doing it to mine, that’s where I’d kick you my self. Or perhaps arrange for an accident like last Wed. I don’t have to do it my self

Your point is well noted.
I had no intention of kicking *YOUR* PC. Bloggy’s, maybe…

Bloggylife: Well you know.. soccer is full of “accidents” and Haider is lucky he can still walk.
Haider: You’ve been complaining to Bloggylife about our lack of gatherings? You’re the one who was hanging out with …

Bloggy, I didn’t say I wanted to kick your PC, or was going to. But if I had to, I would. I wouldn’t approach any of Bashar’s gadgets, cos he’s violent.
BTW, your comment (#6) looks like a family gathering! Haha!
I didn’t complain to Bloggy. I mentioned it in passing in the comments to one of her blog posts. The Selfish one…
