| 582721 | 2007-08-19 05:00:00 | I believe the classic reply to that woman would be to "take your computer back to the shop you bought it from and tell them your too stupid to own one" Of course that got the original Dell tech fired, but hey, its true. Our bill gets direct debit to our credit card. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 582723 | 2007-08-19 06:10:00 | Then again, the question could be "How do some technicians cope?" :D | Myth (110) | ||
| 582724 | 2007-08-19 06:46:00 | "How do some technicians cope?" :D Always thought about that. After I started working I found out that you need to have a lot (and I mean a lot) of patience especially with people who are not computer literate. Has worked for me so far ;) |

| 582727 | 2007-08-19 07:21:00 | Perhaps one day they can make computers like aircraft electronic units (avionics) with BITE (built in test equipment). When there is a problem it tells you whats wrong and how to fix it. You shouldnt have to be Bill Gates to use a computer. tedheath |

| 582728 | 2007-08-19 07:29:00 | But it amazes me she doesn't know who she is paying money to each month. Does she even look at the bill? What happens with other problems? Like um, say the house caught fire. Never mind figuring out to ring the fire brigade, who's her insurance company? And where does she say to send the fire engine? 111 Person: "where do you live?" Her: "Street" |
