I just have to share this with you guys... A guy just walks into my office, and I have a few of our database machines booted and running. We have just upgraded the monitors to 17" though, and it gets really hot in here when they are all on, so I had them turned off. (plus I can talk about how energy conscious I am when the boss is around... TE HE)
Anyway, he says: "Hey, are these broken?"
"No, just go ahead and turn the monitors on, they are all ready to go..."
Next thing I hear is that all too familiar POST beep...
"YOU JUST RE-BOOTED the machine!"
Why is this kind of task SO DIFFICULT?
I am still laughing at the whole thing. I just told him that he was no longer able to touch any of my machines... (I think he thought is was pretty funny too. Albeit, I know he was rather embarrassed)
