I'm not saying you need to be able to rebuild a transmission, but when they suggest that it might be time to replace your spark plugs or your timing belt, it's nice to have half a clue what they're talking about. ("Yeah, go ahead and do the timing belt... I don't want it to break, it's already been 10,000 miles since it was last changed."  )

I agree wholeheartedly but the general public does not. They want to know how much extra the monthly payment will be with the maximum warranty they can get. When the PC stops doing what they want, they want to know Dell's phone number not how to recompile.
