You really have no clue how slow people are about computers

i'm upselling this optical mouse to this woman over the phone and i'm talking about how opticals don't foul up like ball mice do, and she asks, "which way would it go if i pushed it right but wanted to push it left?"

people should be required to master the mechanics of their native language before being allowed to use a computer.

Anyone who touches a computer should have some sort of cognitive testing beforehand.

??? What does that even mean?

 

[Rainsford]

You know, that goes beyond not knowing about computers. I think even people that almost never use computers sould know they can't read your mind.

especially if they're in a corporate environment and have the ability to take down an entire network by opening an email with some stupid vb attachment.

What's a mouse? All I have is a footpedal that has 2 pedals I can press down.

I think she is asking if the mouse has the ability to read her mind and do what she intended

I think it means 'reversed mouse', like when you move it right, the cursor actually moves left. I don't like to set my mouse to reverse.

Makes you wonder how they got to be as old as they are.

Yes they do. But the miracle medicine is 'automatic transmission'.

LOL, I hear you, I spent a good 1/2 hour explaining to an increasing irrate small business owner why it was not a good idea for him to use the Admin logon while surfing the web.. "I'm in charge here why shouldn't I use the boss logon all the time?"


Gimmie people like your mouse lady, people who know nothing are often less frustrating
than power user wanna be's

 

[hoihtah]

a mind controlled computer interface.

I think you're right, she must think "optical" means mind reading. :Q
