The difference between Regular computer users, and Power users:
+++RU= Regular User+++
+++PU= Power User +++
RU - willing to wait for the PC to boot up and is methodical in picking what to do first
PU - Curses and screams at the computer to hurry up or they will inflict pain on it
RU - turns on the periferals and all other components one at a time
PU - Turns on everthing at once, then curses as they have to go downstairs to turn all of the breakers back on
RU - Gently moves mouse across mousepad, cleans mouse when needed, and is careful about how hard they click the mouse, or touches the keys on the keyboard, and is diligent about keeping the computer clean.
PU - Leaves skid marks across the desk, catches the mousepad on fire, spills beer or soda on the keyboard, smashes or drops the mouse, and beats on the PC when it doesn't do what they want it to do. Also, keyboard and all parts are usually either gummed up, filthy, oily, or covered with many unidentifiable substances.
PUx2- Curses out Circuit City when they dont have in stock his wireless keyboard, has fits when they don't have any laser pointer remote mice, and burns the store to the ground when he finds out that they don't carry the "Best of Penthouse and Playboy" CD in stock nor will they order it for him.
RU - Thinks that a 28.8 modem is fine, 33.6 is grand, and 56K is tops!
PU - Conciders 56K unbarrable, ISDN tolerable, Cable modem better, T-1 great, T-3 awesome!, and OC3 better than sex!
RU - plays games on the PC like solitare and pinball.
PU - Plays Ultimate DOOM, Quake2, Dark Forces 2, Unreal, Dark Reign, Command and Conquer, MotoRacer, Forsaken, and any other high end computer game that makes the processor smoke and the video card beg for mercy
RU - has a simple soundcard in their PC with little 20 watt speakers on the desk playing cute little midi's and sound files.
PU - has a 128 bit soundcard with external 800 watt amp and 6 foot tall concert speakers running at 185 decibles and 7.8 on the ricter playing Iron Maiden or ICP.
RU - Uses email to send nice little messages to their family and friends.
PU - Uses the whole computer for WW3 via the internet against anyone with the balls to try
RU - Enjoys visiting websites
PU - Enjoys hacking those same websites
RU - will nicely and politely call customer support when something breaks
PU - spends 5 hours dissecting the computer and finally calls the tech guy begins to cuss and scream, only later to find out in the 2 months he's owned the pc he's burned out every major component in it.
RU - when a progam crashes he goes psycho thinking he's got another virus....deltree c:\
PU - begins to curse whiling cleaning his revolver, shotgun, m-16, tank, and alerts the US Navy that bill gates and whoever made the parts for his PC are going to die.
RU - eats all of their meals at the kitchen table. they might bring a drink or small snack in with them but nothing much. Spends 1-2 hours tops behind computer
PU - eats, drinks, sleaps, showers, shaves, and takes a dump right behind the computer screen if at all possible. Rarely ever leaves computer for any reason.
Anybody got any other good comparisons between regular users and power users? 😀
