Didn't even see it, but I know who posted it due to the "Last reply by" part of the search window

3. When in similar fix, I always google (web & groups) my problem and

there is always someone else with my problem who has a mapped out solution. That is of course you mean "you can't print" as in penmanship.... in that case, I cannot help you.

18. Thank you, you are a reasonable man

[Misunderestimator]

11. Do you have enought dots for your dot matrix printer?

Maybe you can borrow some from somebody.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

12. "what's a computer?"

in my years of tech'ing, that was pretty much the most amazing thing I had ever been asked. I knew, at that point, that I was talking to "The One".

[SOteric]

13. You want to see useless?

Watch a fella with several advanced degrees in systems engineering and at least a decade of hardware experience in myriad platforms try to make a simple pot of coffee or a couple of quick copies.

[DS1]

14. Sounds like your typical dork

[Beer Snob-50]

16. I did manage to write several books on my company account...

One was about a struggling Union steward who had to file four OSHA complaints against a Fortune 500 Company. ;)

17. Ah, the patience, kindness, and charm for which IT guys are known!

If everybody knew as much as you did, you wouldn't have a job, would you?

That observation goes to any profession in which you possess specialized knowledge that its not cost-effective for the average person to acquire, when they can just hire your ass to do it for them, just as I hire a lawn service to cut my lawn.

That stupidity you decry is the source of your paycheck.

[DS1]

19. First. It's a copycat.

Second, stupid users are not my source of income. And for that I am thankful.

[Misunderestimator]

23. Ah but you didn't say stupid users... you said computer users...

Computer users are definitely my source of income. Or anyone who uses any of the software that is written by the developers I manage. fwiw. :D :hi:
