Just a thought
Not everyone is comfortable with computers, and some folk no doubt appear to be retarded when it comes to using one, but remember this: if we all had IT Staff levels of tech type knowledge, you wouldn't have a fucking job.

But to keep in the spirit of things, I saw a post on Yahoo or somesuch a while back asking how to make a monitor mirrored. The person had already tried to scan a fucking mirror. Belm.

It could be done
Not literally, of course, but some newer machine have webcams built into the LCD - Apple does this and you can get PC equivalents too.

Shouldn't be that hard to turn the video stream into a desktop image.

Fuck me I'm a nerd.

Fair enough
and I never expect people to know anything remotely technical - but when I have to drive 20 miles (at 26p a mile) in order to flip the switch on a standard electrical wall socket, I reserve the right to delete random documents from that user's filestore.

I don't expect you to have IT Staff levels of tech type knowledge.

I expect you to know how to use your computer. There's a difference.
