Bad IT people

First of all, sorry for not posting much lately. It’s a very busy time, I just finished working for a month, gonna buy a new laptop, a Dell.

Didn’t have that much time (and energy) to do much computer related things, and if I did something it wasn’t worth blogging about it (and yes, I usually set my standards pretty high :p)

But here is a little teaser, a small list I gathered some years ago, all based on true events:

Bad IT people:

• Lose their command prompt
• Can not configure their e-mail client
• Do not understand
