About LinkBackseasier perhaps, worse definately
Everything seems to break for me 
Somehow, I can always get stuff fixed 
Bit of both really 
Dunno
easier perhaps, worse definately
Breaker (which is incidently my handle at various forums)
I fix things, and I'm pretty good at it, but it can go wrong, then it will go wrong...it's not Murphey's law, it's mine...

More of a fixer but have done my fair share of breaking...of which i mostly end up fixing.
Well my PC just broke again - but now it's fixed again.
I'm thinking of editing my thread starter to reflect the "a bit of both" vote now. I've not had much luck this last 10 days!

i seem to be good at fixing stuff in work (well, its sort of my job, so i should be really)
but not so lucky at home - not that i "break" things, but things don't always go as smoothly as they sometimes could
its probably cos the machines at work only come in about 4 types & once you've done one you've done em all, whereas stuff at home is always different .....thats my excuse & i'm sticking with it guv'nor
if it ain't broke...fix it till it is
Generally a fixer most of the time but when it comes to computers it can be a bit touch and go
I spend my whole life taking stuff apart and trying to work out how it works, hence my interest in computers
Hope I'm a fixer cuz my job is building and fixing data networks. I'm stuffed if I'm a breaker
By and large I get things fixed when the PCs go wrong at home. I try to avoid the global fix of 'open cmd prompt, type "format c:" '
One of the things I have done at home is to use a small 10 Gig drive to house the operating system and to use the main drive for everything else. Building in some more resiliency to my data by having it on a completely seperate hardware device. I also have an external 20 Gig Firewire hard drive which I use for backing up critical (to me anyway) data that is held on the c: drive with the operating system.
Thinking about it the only thing i can remember not eventually fixing was a Cisco switch that had lost it's checksum and wouldn't boot. While casting around for information I found that it was a fatal error and the switch was now a paperweight. So I wash my hands of that one
