Apr. 29th, 2005 06:36 pmIt's really hard to powercycle when people don't do what you tell them to.
Shut down the computer does not mean restart.
Unplug your modem and router doesn't mean unplug your computer or shut them both off using your powerstrip.
Plug the modem back in does not mean turn your computer back on, even after it's plugged in. Please wait until I tell you to turn your computer back on.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I hate it when the people that call in go on about how illiterate they are about computers.
What do you want me to say? YAP, YOU'S A MORRAN!
I ususally lie and tell them I've had worse. Key word: lie
At least I'm done with work in 20 minutes. I need to go home to my working computer.
