PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training

An anonymous reader writes "As if all of us aren't already already aware of this, PHBs don't know jack squat about computer technology, and they won't seek any training from their own IT staff because that would be an admission of "weakness" so instead they are getting outsiders to train them in secret." Lucrative work for the secret tutors I s'pose. I guess getting tutored in secret is better than just floundering in ignorance.

    I use my right mouse button all the time, and laugh at Mac users who have to hold down two or three keys and click to get the same effect.

    Making users go out and buy two button mice isn't a good marketting technique. And the uncertainty over whether or not the end user will have that second button results in a lot of Mac software not supporting it at all.

    I think I was just annoyed because your original post implied that people who drive automatics do it because a manual transmission is "too much for them." Made me feel a little defensive, since I have entirely different, and perfectly valid reasons for not driving a manual ;)

    The Democrats are actually more dangerous than the Republicans and will only lead our country into tyranny at a faster rate. The real fix is neither Democrat nor Republican but one that ignores the last 80 years of crappy legislation and recognizes the intents of our nations founders to emphasize Freedom over cozy social programs and pork-barrel contracting.
