What about a licence to operate a microwave as well?

Might stop people using itto dry their pet poddle after it has had a bath.

This was put up as fun not to mock.

I know the point of this forum.

You don't know these people they live 5,000+ miles away.

If you can't see the point then don't try making out I am mocking anyone.

Gawd blind me, one born everyday.

Oh God, the things we've done..

In a company I worked for about 5-years ago we had a guy called Stuart in Sales. Everything would happen to him, he was a bloody nuisance, waving his arms about and shouting at his computer.

So I installed BackOrafice on his machine. I'd swap his mouse buttons over, launch applications, open and close his CD-ROM drive, this went on for weeks. And do you know the funniest thing, ...I didn't tell any of my techie colleagues that I'd done it. :A

You bad girl.

I have heard of people taking a print of the dektop, hiding quick launch removing icons, changing wallpaper to the print and laughed at people trying to double click my computer etc and going nowhere.

I have found that non techie people dont really get the stories but if you have ever had to deal with computer user or two I think you will find some of them side splittingly funny!!!!!

i find if you go into the older stories they are much much funnier. they have slightly gone off the boil but some are pure gold!

have you noticed how this thread is going, where the obvious users are throwing their arms up, and the techies are just carrying on talking ignoring everyone else.

refreshing.
