I'm the guy who "knows" about computers in my circle of relatives and friends. I often have a hard time explaining that I can't help them in any meaningful way with whatever malaise is affecting their (Windows) computer because - although I'd genuinely like to help - I have no Windows expertise (beyond what I need to check my sites in IE), and I could very well end up making things worse, and / or deleting all their data.

It's not a snobbery thing (I use OS X, Linux and used to have an OpenBSD router), I just haven't worked with Windows for years and it's now so totally outside my experience. (OK, give me a week or two and I could get back into the swing of things, but I have better ways of using that time).
