My brother recently did A+ and MCSE with only having to do Networking
Technologies more than once. That doesn't stop him from phoning me and asking:
1) How do I create a subdirectory?
2) How do I open a word document?
3) How do I save a word document?
4) Doesn't understand that you can do multiple things through 1 dail-up

:))
+ some more humiliating questions...
Boy I'm so glad I don't have MS's sign on my forehead!
