2 Emails

[gravito.livejournal.com]

Two *real* emails sent yesturday and the day before. Absolutely no alterations.

First:
There were a few instances last week where the projector shut down unexpectedly. There are a number of issues that might have lead to this, one of which I noticed just a few minutes ago. Keep in mind that cables gradually come loose in the back and sometimes the power cable (the black cable that plugs in the lower right back side) does not rest firmly in place. If you have people in the audience that sit next to the cabinet and that cable is not in place a light bump can loosen it enough to lose power.

If for some reason you are having issues with the projector in 311 shutting down on you and it does not appear to be a loose cable, please let me know. Thanks.

Second:
If you intend to label a CD, please keep in mind that the back of the CD is actually the optical film upon which the data resides. For this reason, it is best to use a felt-tipped pen or marker. A ball-point pen will tear the film.

Also, if you are sending a Mini-CD to a department that primarily uses Apple computers, it might be a good idea to let them know that Mini-CDs do not work in the "slot-loaded" drives of the iMac computers. They will want to use a CD-ROM that has a "tray-loaded" design. Thanks.

About the CD email...I've actually had people ask me to look at their "defective CD", so I say ok. I look at it and the top part of it is completely torn to the point where its transparent (I assumed she tried to label it with a pen.) Naturally I tell her that it's ruined, and she was frustrated, but at least she didn't act like an asshat about the matter. ;)

That's how I erase CD-Rs when I'm done with them. I just take a letter opener or ball point pen and scratch the hell out of the top. :-)

optical film

Hmm.. I was unaware that CDs had film in them.

I don't get it.. You sent the emails or someone sent them to you?

/where's the funny?

You have 80 employees that don't know the difference between a PC and a Mac and think the "computer" is the monitor. What are you going to call it?

[achernow.livejournal.com]

Right.. The monitor is the computer and the tower is the hard drive.
