Steve Schacher Posted January 30, 2001 Report Posted January 30, 2001 A programming new hire (back in 1987) was in a cubicle for a month before being moved to another cubicle. He asked, "How will my email know where to go?"The same new hire was on a team that had regular Friday staff meetings where they took turns bringing donuts or bagels to the meeting. On his turn, they suggested that he bring bagels and cream cheese. When he showed up, he brought bagels and sour cream.He was terminated before his probationary period was up.

Ben Zwycky Posted February 13, 2001 Report Posted February 13, 2001 Well, this is close enough to the subject I think. My fiancee's brother Petr was helping out a technically-challenged uncle of his with the basics of windows, when the uncle said:"Help! Everything's disappeared and now there are elephants on my computer!" Petr then patiently explained what a 'screensaver' was.------------------ Cmdr.

Guest Vaipa Posted February 19, 2001 Report Posted February 19, 2001 I asked a guy (that had knowledge about computers or so he claimed ) one day "How many megabytes of RAM does your computer have?" "In what sense megabytes of RAM?"

GREG MILLER Posted April 25, 2001 Report Posted April 25, 2001 Ok, I know this is an old thread but I had to share this with you all.First of all even though I work in the Finance Department, people know of my great tech skills. (Some think I am a god. )The other day, a lady on the floor was trying to download that Elf Bowling game. She asked me to help because it wouldn't work, and even told me it did the same thing at home. Basically she needed to save it to her HDD before playing. So when I sat as she did it, it asked he to save it to disk.Her response was, "It is too big for a Floppy Disk." And I agreed with her. I then suggested, "Why don't you save it to your Hard Drive?"She looks at me and says, "But that is not a disk!" I am now looking at her in a very strange way and just replied, "Yes it IS!" She continued to argue that it wasn't and I asked her Why it wasn't. Then with a confused look on her face, she couldn't answer the question. Well, after she took my suggestion everything was cool.This is one of those people that should not own a computer.
