| I have the perfect panacea for all those stupid users with their computer issues that aren't really issues (I'm talking her about the - USER: "My computer isn't working the screen is blank even though the computer is on". ME: "Can you turn the screen on". USER: "How do you do that" ... USER:"It seems to be working now" type of user.Blame these issues, random network "slowdowns" and other inexplicable happenings on SUN SPOTS - it works for me, and no one can argue with it.steveAnd how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. |

| I still like the tech that told the user to pack up the computer an take it back to the store. she asked what she should tell them was wrong.he told her to tell them that "she was too stupid to have a computer"JimUsers <> Logic |
