I mean, if your definition of decent requires you to be a fraud and a conman, then no.

My father, while he certainly pirated a lot of software back in the 90s, wasn't stealing any phone cards, or doing any embezzlement. Presumably, that makes him not decent with computers.

It's hard to take you seriously if you can't tell the difference between making a copy of a disk, and embezzlement.

(You probably can tell the difference, because I doubt you think that the former should be a felony.)
