Back in the crazed few years prior to W2k, my (then) boss and I were replacing/upgrading comps at a small biz.
After I had setup the machine at this "older" gentleman's desk, he sat down, pointed to the mouse and said "I've never used one of those before". I turned, looked at my boss and he must've seen the (already building) frustration on my face and said "why don't I show you how to use it". He knew me too well...

Circa 2003, I briefly had a customer -- a small metal shop -- running a DOS-based accounting system of mysterious origin. It only recognized drives A: and B: so they had to use SUBST to get it to store it's data on the hard drive, and it wasn't Y2K compliant so they had their PC clock set to 1993. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
