PC about PCs

I just noticed that if I post something using my Mac versus posting something from my PC the font is all over the place.I am sure there is a way to set these things but I am either lazy or clueless or both!!
Which brings me to the question of tech savvy-ness-who has it and whether being tech savvy automatically translates to being clever/smart/nerdy.My 12 year old sometimes tells me what to do if I get stuck on something on the iPad-makes me wonder is he is smart or it's just that I am dumb?
I remember using a computer for work way back in 1996 in Delhi-it was a hoot.Since I was working on the magazine that the company intended to send subscribers once the service commenced,I had to use word based software and that did not require any programming skills.
Once I came to the US I went to community college to learn programming and obviously motherhood cut short any professional ambitions and here I am 12 years later, with a kid who seems more proficient at handling an iPad than I am.
I have registered him in a programming class next quarter and am probably going to live vicariously through him! Hope he likes it.I know a bit of C so I am hoping he will feel lost enough to ask the dinosaur in the house if maybe,she knows a bit of it, considering how she always is bellowing out about how hyper super qualified she is and yet chooses to stay home with him?Will keep you posted.
Oh,the Chicken Ballantine?I will upload the photos as soon as my husband uploads it into my Mac or PC-see I told you I am clueless!
