Here's a tip for ya... (not serious)

[Pfred]

users HAVE gotten more sophisticated [dumber] over the yers.

Hard Disk: ya, it's the little one I pull out.

I like to use 'box' for the main component of the computer. CPU is also common, even tho we all know the Central Processing unit is really buried deep in the box.

Basiclly we still need to as if the unit is plugged in 1st.

some of my more dumber users call the "box" - the screen which can be annoying/confusing.

...and the assumption that upon developing a software fault, they need a "new" screen not a software reload (which is what they get)

Hey, that's pretty good! I'll have to remember that site for my new users.

Had somebody the other day who said their computer had crashed. I went over and looked at it, and it was fine. The problem was that Excel was in cell editing mode so a lot of the menus were disabled, toolbars didn't work, keyboard unresponsive, can't select cells with mouse, etc. ESC fixed that one!
