manual or handbook

Why not RTF Enchiridion ?:|

When the boss is on your back and you have tried everthing else twice, F1 drew a blank and you can't recognise the blindingly obvious; tell him the Enchiridion has developed a page fault (where you stand your coffee mug:O) and you need time to have a new unit delivered.

Cheers

Bit late I'm sorry folks, I've been out of town most of the day. (Excuses excuses:8})

It is much better to consult with a Enchiridion any day than a staid manual!

108001 2002-12-22 09:55:00 So next time those friendly folks down at DSE dont fully know what they're talking about, just as them if they've read the Enchiridion!? ;) :p Chilling_Silence (9)
108002 2002-12-22 18:47:00 But only if you want to see their head explode:O

They do try, but you could write a book about their howlers:

Computer Gems.......Overheard at the Checkout

For DSE substitute any chainstore dealing with technology and you could be entertained for hours. I'm not knocking them though, the staff are usually keen and helpful, its just their training that's lacking and I wouldn't be surprised if they have to attend that in their own time.

My only gripe comes when they don't accept that you might know more than they on some aspect or other and insist on pushing the sales line.

Then they get the polite Billy T lecture "why I know better" on the short-comings of their knowledge.

Cheers

108003 2002-12-22 21:12:00 I have a word/phrase that i find useful for getting the DSE and similar staff to stop the know it all game. Just say "I'm running Linux", smell the fear, and watch the attitude scurry away.

:D
