You are correct, although again I was thinking more about the 
willingness (or perhaps compulsion?) to experiment with it when such 
experimentation isn't currently needed and to be anxious to 
experiment with it when it is new and unfamiliar as traits more 
common in geeks than in the mundane majority whose VCR and microwave 
have been continuously flashing "12:00" ever since they brought them 
home and first plugged them in sometime in the last millennium . . .
