I'm living in Denmark, and last summer we went out to a farm - being a farm, it's of course in the middle of nowhere. So I followed the GPS which sent me down worse and worse roads (grass as tall as the car at one point!) until we got to the farm only to be told that there is a main road not 100m from the track I was sent down.
Then the farm owner told me that the previous winter he had an insurance guy come out to him, again following his GPS, except he was following it a little too closely and ended up driving into a huge pile of snow the farmer had just moved off this little track so he could get out! He had to walk to the farm and get the farmer to pull his car out;-)
Maybe people should take a good look out of the window when driving - that way they might not end up down the side of a hill or in a huge snowdrift!
Recently I had to copy 28Mb of Excel files from a relatives old PC to their new one. It is a standalone machine with a small HD and a floppy drive.
How do Dell suppose we should tackle this kind of problem? There is no network connection, no cd burner, no USB (I know I could try and install a NIC, but what's the point when I have a floppy drive?)
