Found on the floor

We found this paper on the floor in front of our service desk. Now we have it tacked up on our board to remind us we're so EVIL!

computer tech's what? *apostrophe rage*

LLOOLL

[polarbee.livejournal.com]

And no apostrophe on 'whats'.
It's a sad sad world.

Um yeah because a non beta version of Vista is out for the public.
Then my second thought was... why on earth are they requesting so low a computer.

Then trick you? What are you best buy?

[kostika.livejournal.com]

They aren't going to be running Vista with that setup. hehe. (that's not even bringing in that Vista isn't even out yet)

But it's good to have a reminder that you're evil. Next step is to insight fear into their hearts.

[polarbee.livejournal.com]

Nope. Just your local computer store.
Initially I was thinking they pulled the system requirements off of some game or something, but nothing is out that would list Vista yet. So I'm guessing they are your average "I managed to install a USB device therefore I know everything about computers" person.

[polarbee.livejournal.com]

No joke. We were testing Vista last week. I have 1GB of RAM in my system and it was using half of that on a fresh load. Good luck with that 512 stick when Vista does come out.

[kostika.livejournal.com]

Well I hope they got exactly what they asked for. It makes me giggle just thinking about the disappointment they face.

(I think I've been IT too long. Non-tech's computer pain make me laugh)

ie smart enough to be dangerous, but hopefully not stupid enough to endanger anyone.

[greeklady.livejournal.com]

LOL - usb device... hehehehe

I need one of your icons.

I had a customer who had a spyware popup that said "Your antivirus monitor is out of date!"

She went down to Best Buy to find out what it meant, and they sold her a $300 LCD monitor. After that didn't fix her problem, she called us.

Best Buy, how I loathe thee...

[polarbee.livejournal.com]

Because those USB devices are pesky buggers.

Go ahead and take the icon if you want. :)

Oh, here, let me load this copy of Vista up for you, lame-o luser. Cuz it's released to the public and all. :P

[greeklady.livejournal.com]

Eh I am not that color of hair. But thanks! I'll have to make one of my own these days.

[polarbee.livejournal.com]

Ah those reloads give me so much time to make silly icons. :)

...

That just does not want to parse. I refuse to let it sink in.

[ghostdandp.livejournal.com]

I'd do it just to have fun. 1ghz with 512mb running vista.. hehehe

After four Alaskan winters, my poor car's battery got a bit cranky when the temperature dropped once again below 0F. The sound it would make as it tried to generate the cranking power to start the engine comes to mind when I think of that computer configuration.

[gilmoure.livejournal.com]

"I'm tellin' ya', I jus need 512MB. You're just tryin' to rip me off!"

Heh, heh, heh.

[warsawpact.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahaha! I love it, but it's kind of scary at the same time.

[wignersfriend.livejournal.com]

Below 0f? Oh the overclocking possibilities!

There ARE some downsides to living in Sunny California.

One of my friends took advantage of the wintertime weather.

Yea - I'm trying to train them to CALL ME when there is an error message - and READ IT TO ME.

"I had an error message" "What does it say" "Uuuuuuhhhh.... I already clicked through it. Now my machine doesn't work..."

"Oh, well there were some error messages and flames coming out of it last week but I didn't want to bother you because you're so busy!" (Now I'm going to do over time...)

[valancy17.livejournal.com]

exactly my first thought -- "Vista?!?"

[valancy17.livejournal.com]

just curious because I don't see a follow-up... did that work??

[jjjiii]

32X?? Wow, and I thought my 16x DVD-RW was fast...

[polarbee.livejournal.com]

It did actually. They ran it like that until Spring.

Oh, that's a thing of beauty! I should suggest that to Dad.
