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 (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:

• Cannot press Ctrl+Alt+Del properly
• Lose their command prompt
• Cannot configure their e-mail client
• Do not understand <form>
• Cannot put RAM in the right memory banks

• Deny that Google is the best search engine
• Cannot use command line ftp
• Do not understand what dual-boot means
