For sure Obama could convert a Word doc no problem. Hell, Cheney Bush Jr. probably could’ve as well.

With his youthful, tech-savvy vibe, many assumed that Barack Obama knew this stuff. But when pressed about how to convert file types, he responded, “What do I look like, some kinda fuckin’ nerd?” His honesty was refreshing. After all, converting a file shouldn’t be the president’s job. That is what interns are for. (Recent surveys show 90% of interns’ work hours are spent combining, condensing, and converting documents in a way that doesn’t crash the aging government servers.)

To be fair, Teddy only managed to convert to PDF by sheer gumption. No matter how many clippies he faced, he never gave up, never crashed his Word, and always disabled OneDrive before anything else.

Roosevelt didn’t convert word documents to PDF. He edited the PDF directly, with a hex editor.

We’re fast approaching that golden age where every president comes standard with PDF creation skills.

I dunno, mobile devices aren’t “computers”, and Gen-X gets ignored so hard it’ll likely be skipped right over, and we’ll jump immediately into Idiocracy (it’s what plants crave).

Although I bet Pete Buttigieg knows how:-).

Harris’ birthdate is October 20th 1964, she’s pretty much Gen X, having had to deal with the 80s crap as a teenager/young adult, hell, 1965 is the first year for Gen X

Usually the cusp of Gen-X is 1965, so even she is Boomer/Gen-X
