Fantastic Reflections

 I help my friends, parents, coworkers with their computer trouble/questions all the time. I’m glad the majority of my friends are very proficient googlers and can find their own way out. I’m proud of my parents for at least knowing how to check their e-mail and read news online - my dad even bids for stuff online. My coworkers are all great people, but using Excel’s built-in file browser to find Word documents or PDF files and such is really a habit they need to break. I do partially blame our IT guy for not training us properly. Recently a coworker (and a great friend) experienced the "grind of death" and has been busy recovering from her tragic loss. We only get 50MB quota on the NAS for whatever files we wish to keep safe. However, we were all told to keep the majority of our files locally on C. Good thing I secretly installed Mozy on my workstation and feel a bit safer than my fellow coworkers.

This picture I randomly caught on IRC reminded me of the old cup holder joke. "I guess since the cup holder is obviously not where a CD belongs, I’ll just try feeding my resource hungry computer through the only mouth visible." Genius. Wish I thought of that when I was frustrated with my Windows XP.
