But computers are totally like magic...I mean I don't really
understand what's allowing me to connect to y'all..the whole
telegraph thing (which has been laboriously explained to me)
seems like magic to me....

You've got to know computers, the more you know, the more magic
you can do, if some part is faulty it'll screw up (just like
a stale potions ingredient), if you lose your wand, I mean modem,
you can't connect, if you work tirelessly you can make it do more 
magic, never trust a file that thinks for itself if you can't
see where it keeps its brains, things blow up, depends on skill
of the user....I could go on and on...
