4. You are not a computer expert? but you know you don't need to provide basic information?

You would be well advised to provide basic info to the experts like me, when we ask, because we know that these very basic things are important. I probably can't help you in this specific case, but I'm enough of a "computer expert" to make a living programming / software engineering and to know that others are likely to want to know the basics of your configuration.

Perhaps I have completely misjudged you and perhaps you are a hardware engineer and can put me to shame with what you know about computers. That might explain why you seem to think my questions are bogus.
