Oldies vs ComputersAs someone who is "good with computers" I get a lot of calls from people who've got problems. Some of them even have problems with their computers.
Back many years ago working for a telecoms company, I was called to a senior secretary who "had put a disk into the drive and couldn't get it out". She had one of the first Mac II machines with two drive slots. But only one drive.
Opening up the case revealed stacks of floppy disks that she'd been posting through the hole in the case for weeks. She'd only decided there was a problem when her boss wanted one of them back...

Do itI'm an IT consultant therefore I know everything there is to know about IT. Apparently.
I was on the phone to a friend of the family (not someone I'd usually help) and I sorted him out but he had a problem with Office that bordered on idiocy - after many an attempt at trying to help him, I told him I'd email him some instructions mainly beacuse I was sick of talking to him - This is what I emailed him:
"Splice the primary with the SLP over the MP fusing the CAP with the DP using IIS"
Never heard from him again.
And I retract my earlier insult about this QOTW, it's not my website and blah blah blah.
And yes, I am an SMS consultant those of you that know it and are wondering.
Yes, I am sad and need to get out more.
No, I don't care.
