3 computers, 1 works 2 dont. Why ask me?

do you own a computer, how long have you owned computers .. Do you know what an Icon is? Where the address bar is? Those are pretty basic questions .. Well heres the deal. I know some people that never owned a computer before. They drive me nuts..

As a matter a fact a few people. And sometimes when someone asks me "do you have a computer" I just say "yeah. a notebook. Its not like a real computer, it just lets you talk on the internet".. These people dont know if Im lying or not cause they dont know the difference in a desktop, laptop or notebook or smart phones..

I do get tired of this! I never had problems with owning a computer for as long as I can remember having internet since 1995. My computers run like the day I bought them, least til the technology changes and im forced to get anew..
Anyways I has these friend that ask me constantly "do you know whats wrong with my computer" I wish I could say "Yeah I sure do, youre an IDIOT!!" cause thats really what it comes down to..

So recently this one person asked me whats wrong with this computer and not to be a wise ass I said "if you have this one computer here and it works, why dont you ask it whats wrong the other computer." Now they have no clue what I mean..

How do you ask this computer whats wrong with the other one?.. You put the question in the address bar..

Whats an address bar?

I cant help but wonder how did they manage to use it before..
It gets very tiresome and even more so when they have kids that also know nothing of a computer, and corrupt the OS with 2 clicks of a mouse..
How do you deal with people like this?

 

I actually have a ton of computer questions for you if you have spare time.

 

lmao! i like how you fuck with em


how do i deal.. i am patient with them, i try to help

 

steal their computer(s) and give it to someone who needs it and can use it?

 

I have protocol droids that assist in human to computer relations..
Geek Squad..

 

i don't know how people live without using computers.

 

I live for those people, because I charge them ridiculous prices to fix simply mundane issues. Comparing your own prices to an established business like Geek Squad is great too since they charge you 50x more than anything should cost, so I can still make bank and it looks like I'm cutting them a deal

 

if you dont know how to use a computer in this day and age your wayyyy behind general society and odds are it will be very limiting in the very near future

the computer and the laptop i have on my desk right now are probably my 15th and 16th computers i've owned in my lifetime, starting back with super old graphic computers, and using macs in school that only had black and orange screens

 

i had a texas instruments and then a commodore , then some kind of energy star PC, dell, hp, few others..

 

C64 pwnz

 

I use to work in the IT department of an insurance company and I know exactly what you mean. "I'm having a problem, my computer wont turn on. Is your computer plugged in sir? Oh ok, that seemed to work thanks!" I'm still amazing that non-computer literate people can still get jobs at an insurance firm or any other place that uses computers for 90% of there archiving.

 

i have no patients for anyone that doesn't know shit about computers.. i just cant sit there and explain.. otherwise im sure to have an aneurysm

 

while installing a new coaxial cable for someones Tv.. They kept asking me why this and that and I said "your female has aids from getting poked to much by longer males".. :der:

 

must've been a mac user

 

Typical conversation..
:See what you got going on here is the ol' IE cascade, I take you was looking at porn sites ? .. :toetap05:
:Me?, NO!! ...
:Well I can tell if you did with the history..:coffee:
:History whats that?
:This right here, tells me everything you did and went too.. :
:Oh..
*phone ring*
:yeah what is it?
:Hey you know that history thing, Well I was looking up the Titantic and couldnt find it...

:banghead:

My first computer was a compaq presario. I plugged it in, and tought myself how to use it. I only ever called tech support when i got stuck, or a disc wouldn't run.

I also wanted to see all that porn everyone was jabbering on about.

I searched for days, and never even saw one boob out, no matter what i typed in.
Then i noticed the "family filter" button was on.

Click and learn.

I would rather teach myself, than try to listen to somebody else explain it to me.
