funniest thread for quite some time...
if I mention Tara500 I think a few of you will know immediately what i'm talking about.
seriously, you've got to read it, it'll brighten up your day. http://forums.devshed.com/t53792/s.html I still think s/he might be a wind-up. can anyone really be that thick? c/he'd have to register on devshed first ;-)

Well, I hadn't read that one in awhile. People like that remind me of daily life in my computer stores.

Now there's a loaded question if ever I saw one... There's an older gentleman across the street who has a comp, WinME and all, but doesn't know much about it, of course. He's more proficient then most people his age, but the second trouble hits he's lost. He calls me over on New Years Day because he can't figure out how to hook up his new scanner. It's USB, so I poked around on the comp for awhile and I'm thinking "what the hell - this thing has no USB ports??" No, wrong, it was just in a dark cubby hole and the cords were black, so after awhile it occurred to me that both ports are taken (the printer and the keyboard - stupidest use of a USB port I've ever seen, but that's Compaq for you). So, I sent him on his merry way to get a Hub and he sent me off with 5 bucks for the couple minutes I poked around. About an hour later he calls me back over because he hooked everything up just like it said and when he turns on his scanner, nothing happens. Response? "You didn't plug it into the wall". Now, there was an exchange of several minutes and I never could get it through to him that he hadn't plugged it in. So, I marched back over, plugged it in, and set up Outlook to use an IMAP account. For all this, he sent me off with another 20 bucks. Not too shabby for a total of about 20 minutes of work, eh? I like people like tara500 when they're paying me, but not when they show up here!

maybe you can soon, read an article in a norwegian technewssite, about a firm that was working with a solution, where you could use your cell phone as a mouse for your laptop.

somebody asked me "would you f*ck bill gates for all his money". then some1 else said "for 90 billion i'd enjoy it".
would you? the tara thing. you were a little harsh on that one. It was just a question u know (stupid maybe, but still not like she posted it in algorithm forum), could've just answered and get it over with, or just ignore the question.
