In IT jargon we sometime use [lamer][1]. > A lamer is widely understood to be the antithesis of a hacker. While a > hacker strives to understand the mechanisms behind what he or she > uses, even when such extended knowledge would have no practical value, > a lamer only cares to learn the bare minimum necessary to operate the > device in the way originally intended. ADDED after the OP had added a limiting condition: > I'm not looking for insulting or pejorative terms. I guess you will hardly find any **single-word** term (in general, not only in connection with the computer literacy) with a meaning "lack of something", especially "lack of knowledge", with *non-negative* connotation. For the IT craft, any word meaning "computer illiterate" would be pejorative :) I cannot see any difference in connotation between *lamer* and *technophobe* or *digital illiterate* or *luddite* or *cyberphobic*.
