anivair.livejournal.comDo you ever just make up complete crap to shut people up?
for example, one of our salespeople has a usb floppy drive. I just got a call from him.
"My floppy drive won't read my dusks. the light's not on. Do you think it's dead?"
Well . . . no. No I do not. So I say:
"Unplug it and plug it back in"
"Oh, that worked just fine. Hey, why do you think that is?"
"umm . . . sometimes USB pointers decay and you need to reset them."
To which he replies, "Oh. yeah, that makes sense."
What? What the hell did I just say? USB pointers? I could have told him that the problem was with the main deflector dish. I suppose it's easier than the truth.
