« Go Back
Back in the day....Me - based in Sheffield, call from a college admin in Salisbury - can't reboot the computer (an ancient multi-user system from Comart). All checks alreeady having been done including have they turned the reset lock off? I set off for Salisbury. Gets to college office, turns reset lock key, presses reset button, turn key back to Lock, drive off home. Users!
Report from a place in Hull - screen is wobbling. Set off with monitor. Arrive on site, turns off anglepoise lamp next to monitor, wobble stops. Another genius user.
Apologies for length & bitterness.
