My boss is almost as "geeky" as I am... fortunately for me, he needs all his memory space for carpet manufacturing stuff, or I might not have a job. :) [cid:image001.jpg@01C9C282.724E2230][cid:image002....@01c9c282.724e2230] From: Jon Harris [mailto:jk.har...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 1:02 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Disappearing program He does not have to build any better ones we have more than enough now.

I had one call a few years ago that along these lines: ID10T: "My machine isn't booting right, there's some message on the screen " Me: "What does it say? " ID10T: "I don't know" Me: "Does it say 'error accessing device' or just a bunch or garbled letters or something?" ID10T: "I don't know what it says, I just need you to come look" After another minute I still could not get this user to read what was on the screen, even character by character and ended up walking to her desk. On the screen: "Invalid system disk" because there was a floppy in the floppy drive and BIOS was set to try boot from that first...ejecting the floppy of course fixed everything. FORGET trying to explain anything complex like "there are some underlined words, click on that..." Build something idiot proof and God will build a better idiot.
