The Student Computer Help staff assist MATC students with questions about:
MATC student email accounts
the Microsoft Office suite,
installing the Wisconsin Integrated Software Catalog products,
Blackboard and various other curriculum-based software packages at MATC.

As I said, there is no excuse. The school has allocated resources to deal with exactly what her problem was, but she couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to educate herself.

Newsflash: Anyone who pays money to "attend" a "Technical College" that gives "credit" for such "courses" as "Windows Vista", "Introduction to Keyboarding" and "Introduction Internet" is too dumb to use a computer.

Credit for learning how to send an email? What a fucking joke.

She's enrolling at the Madison Area Technical College, and couldn't be bothered to read the specs on a laptop she ordered?

What a joke.

Did you read the friendly article?

They placed a mousetrap (this type) and a plate with cheese, next to each other, and the mouse lived to give us two squeeks.

This picture of a old horse drawn wagon wheel shows how the wheel is kept on the axle by means of a spike thru the axle itself.

This picture of the boob shows how the wheel-spoke ornament is held on by a (smaller) spike that goes thru the nipple itself.

All that is needed now is a small motor which will rotate the ornament (or wave it back and forth? Maybe have it move to the beat of the music?) to make the design complete.
