the people who think the power button to the computer is on the monitor.

Thats GOOD !! never had that ,,,,, Yet !!

me: so you've rebooted the computer, and when it boots back up, it displays the same error message?

co-worker: yes, when it comes back on it's already on that screen

me: after...you log in...right?

co-worker: uh...

me: what account are you logging in with?

co-worker: well...it's not asking me to log in...

me: ...

(they were "re-booting" the computer by turning the monitor off, and then back on again)

Flint, I'm pretty computer illiterate, but that is too friggin funny!

Flint · 02-19-2008, 02:57 PM

It really happens. The other day, the power had gone out for a second, and one of the computers was turned off. They called me because it was "down" and "showing an error message" ...which was what the monitor displays when it isn't getting any input. Like, if the computer wasn't turned on.

So, I don't know exactly why it was so hard to convince them to look for the power button and turn the computer back on, but I almost had to go down there and clock in. Abruptly in the middle of the call, someone on-site managed to hit the button, and they exclaimed "it's fixed now!"

Know what you mean Zippy, we live in the desert, and between the extreme heat and the extreme wind, its hell on shingles, and the utility bill so the person who owned our house before us had a foam layer sprayed on our roof-slippery as hell

a) Do you really have to ask?

b) Do you really want to know?
