Oh my god...

Y'know, sometimes I think I need more education to work on computers. And then things like this are posted, and I realise that in the eyes of the public, I am some sort of technological god already.

Don't worry. I'm headed for over half a year of nothing but education, if all goes well. Having just come out of two years of nothing but education, I find this prospect terrifying on some level.

Have them stare at the light and tell'em it's very calming and theraputic.

did you mention the keys on the keyboard need to be pointed up for you to type. That may be the next call.

Finally, somebody beats the infamous "cup holder" story. Kudos to you.

Wouldn't the mouse have just been awkward to hold that way? The stupidity is amazing.

You have my sincerest sympathy.

I find it amazing that just when you think they've reached the furthest horizon of daft, just when you think they've plumbed the depths of stupidity, just when you realise that they can't get any further from the holy Clue, they find a new horizon, a new depth, and convince you that the universe itself is not large enough to encompass the distance between the Clue and themselves.

Come friendly bombs...

I've worked my share of tech support, and I've yet to have something THIS bad.


You have my sympathies as well.
