| 403958 | 2005-11-15 09:27:00 | No Rule one is Don't fix it if it isn't broken.What??? Where's the fun in that? If we don't fix things until they are broken, then how do we learn? :p | personthingy (1670) | ||
| 403959 | 2005-11-15 09:30:00 | The PC does not have the problem only the user. Spend time focusing on the user(s) as the PC does not care less. very nicly said :) No Rule one is Don't fix it if it isn't broken the problem with pc's is that the pc can be majorly faulty and still run fine. pc's are like an old car, only a little bit of rust showing but dig out the rust and you will find more rust, soon you find its completely rusted out and is not useable. |

If it hasn't got one what have you learnt?Well each to there own ways of learning. What you say about trouble shooting the fault is how i learn with other peoples toys, but i learn much more by experermenting and/or trying to change things on my own toys. An example was when i played with the apache .conf file on a webserver i was running from home a few years back. When i restarted the service so it loaded of the modified version, it refused to start at all. Worse still i hadn't backed up the original or working .conf file, so there was a HUGE amount of learning done that night. D'oh :blush: :groan: :p | personthingy (1670) | ||
| 403966 | 2005-11-15 21:40:00 | If you want to learn about comps fiddle with them I reckon. Even a comp which appears to be running fine still needs regular updates, scans and maintenance. These don't always go smoothly so there's learning there. You can use a comp as an end user and never do anything and the machine will seem to running fine. You will end up with a creaky unstable slow machine. |
