Ok, explain to me this: come on how the heck could it have happened?

We use a database program for a part of our business, very old dos mostrosity. Originally written for an autoparts service, but some one modified it to do classified ad's.

In it it takes some god awful key stroke like ctrl-shift-f10 or alt-f10 (both actually work) to print a sample of the ad thats loaded.
Well our lead sales person (she's won awards 5yrs strait for her sales or something) calls me over, she went to print, and now her computer is "black and blue"

I walk over, and she's in the bios.
I ask her, what happened?
"I went to print, and it did this..." -She goes.

I exited the bios, and restarted. When it came back up, it printed fine.

I guess this job is worth 10 bux an hour.

haha, sounds like she accidently pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL a couple times to get it to print...when she figured out her mistake she probably pressed CTRL+SHIFT+F10 during post and one of the keys brought her to the BIOS.

Is she Blonde?

 

Is there white out on the screen ?

<< Is she Blonde? >>



More likely a transsexual (man to begin with ) !

 

[rocmonster]

at least she didn't ask for the 'any' key

heh.. I could only WISH some of my customers could get into the bios that easy when I need them too. They have a hard time just getting into safe mode a lot of the times..

One thing I have learned to hate about windows millenium... the fact that it exists...

yes blonde, there are spots on the edge of the monitor that used to have whiteout, and she's got a fake any key, taped to the side of the monitor, along with a panic key. though hers is the only one in the building that looks like she trys to use it. Now mind you, these are pentium 100's with win95, and novell client.
