Here is a little advice for all those who are a little "IT Challenged."
Please don't follow too closely, or I won't have anything to blog.
- Computers are switched on with the power button, just like every other appliance.
- YES Computers DO need electricity to run. Just like your TV.
- The monitor is NOT the computer, it is the monitor. The computer is infact the computer!
- DO NOT Ignore error messages. "It flashed up an error that said it was broken" is NOT an acceptable error message!
- NO Microsoft Office is NOT the same as Microsoft Windows. They are two very different pieces of software.
- DO NOT Install half a dozen Anti-Virus programs on the same computer. It will NOT protect you more against viruses, just slow your PC down.
- DO NOT keep asking how long something will take to fix, it does NOT speed up the process.
- DO NOT use CD-ROM Trays as drinks coasters.
- DO NOT use your Monitor as a notice board.
- DO NOT answer "a black one" when asked what type of computer you have.
- DO NOT call the Photographs on your computers background "Screensavers." They are called "Wallpapers" and always have been.
- The mouse is to be used on a flat surface, either the table or on a mouse pad. NOT on the screen itself.
- DO NOT ask what the solution to a problem was when you are only going to say "Whoa there, I am not a computer expert" after it has been explained. Thats why you brought it to us in the first place.
- Saying that you "Know Nothing" about computers will NOT get you sympathy, it just bores us.
- The Recycle Bin is NOT a storage area for your personal files. We are NOT to blame if you loose work when it is emptied.
- If you are asking the impossible, arguing with us will not help. Just remember, you called us!
- Just because there is another ongoing problem, this does NOT mean that it is the cause of every other problem.
