Modern day axioms 1. When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen. 2. When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it’s probably obsolete. 3. The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you least expect to find it. 4. When the going gets tough, upgrade. 5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction. 6. He who laughs last probably has a back up. 7. A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine. 8. The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions. 9. A computer program will always do what you tell it to do but rarely what you want to do. Screensaver I was in the process of putting new PCs in place of older ones in a small department here in the hospital. While I was working away, an older lady (the person in charge of the department) noticed that I had replaced her old 15" monitor with a brand new 17"monitor. She immediately came up to me and said: Her: Could you put my old monitor on the new computer? Me: I could, but wouldn’t you prefer the larger 17" monitor? Her: Well, I wouldn’t mind it, but I installed a $ 75 screensaver on the old monitor and I don’t want to lose it. Me: Well, don’t worry
about that. The new monitor will have that exact same screensaver. Her: You can transfer the screen saver off of my old monitor to the new one? Me: I sure can. Her: Good. |
