End users shouldn't have to know the difference between DDR and SDRAM or RIMMS or... why? Because they are END users. Last time I checked most people who drive cars don't know how to replace the bearings on their tranmount front wheel drive driveshaft. Drivers are END users.
Most of my 19 year career in educational technology can be summed up with one mantra.
"There is no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer!"
Besides any good technical support person, or script, should allow the user to reveal what 'stupid' thing they have done with out embarrassing them.
There was a kit you could buy that was a drive assembly with SIMM slots. I think the max was around 40 megs? but it was totaly a RAM based drive and we would boot from it. Wow was it fast! Has anyone seen one of these since? I would love to have one for my collection.
Quick, put one finger in each side of your mouth and say "I was burnt on a pirate ship":) Make sure that there are no impressionable minds around when you do this...:)
I'm guessing wireless camera and recording devices. Does this mean that cell phone companies are going to have to start keeping logs of where I go with my cell phone, turn on or off makes no matter.
Condem the man who uses the woman's restroom or goes to an technical talk on how a virus works...
