Poll: unzipping a file too hard for a computer tech?

[Spencer278]

That is why someone invented self extracting zip files.

If they're on XP they should be fired. XP can open zip files out of the box

it is windows 2000 server, but easyzip is preinstalled and has the .zip extension associated with it, so even if they can't do -start-programs-easyzip , if they double click the .zip file, it will start easyzip

FoBot, you HR is hiring anybody these days around there. Not able to unzip when you're hired as a computer tech is inexcusable ignorance. That's like an accountant not knowing how to use a calculator or a mechanic who can't figure out how to use a wrench, in my opinion.

Even worse.. because ANYBODY person that deals with computers on a regular basis knows what zip files are and how to manage them.. Not everyone thats in teh car industry can turn a wrench

 

[sillymofo]

you're hiring?

 

[MaxFusion16]

tar -xvzf!

Honestly if a computer tech cannot unzip a file without written instructions, they should be fired for falsifiying their qualifications on their application.

any 5 year old could probably do that.
heh
