dont admin windows much do you? you're right, you cant MANUALLY run updates, but the auto updates sure as hell get applied! wait... checking any of my 150 windows boxes running as user full time... yep! sure do!
I remember watching a documentary on Discovery or History about the technique of chipping the edges on weapons and tools created molecule sharp blades.
they didn't need all that research and science, just a couple rocks!;)
"Do you give away all of your work, or even some of it? If you work for a big, greedy company, do they give away their main product?"
yes, we all give away 'some' of our work really.
when we work, we are COMPENSATED with $
do you think you should be paid more? if so, that means you're giving away some work due to inadequate compensation.
Complaint- User says screen is flashing and couldn't do anything
Solution- Keyboard on tray under desk had F5 key depressed
Complaint2- Same user, next day, same problem
Solution- Keyboard on try under desk pressing F5 again, instructed user (who did not remember the previous day) to be careful of the keyboard tray

Complaint- Every time I try to open something it flashes real quick and closes
Solution - remove glow-stick jammed into the gap around the escape key holding it down
3:
Complaint- I put cd in the drive and it wouldn't play my music and now my cd is gone!!
Solution- note: this is not really stupid user, more stupid design - On the Dell small formfactor optiplex, they use a 'snap' type cd tray like laptops, if you happen to push down on the CD as you are pushing the tray in, the other end tips up and goes ABOVE the cd tray. when you open the CD tray again the cd is gone.
that has happened to 4 of my users now, its funny how freaked out they are because they KNOW they put a cd in! haha
I can say BRAVO for not selling to wal-mart, you wouldn't BELIEVE how customers would abuse their 80$ Craftsman or MTD mowers. We were a Snapper dealer as well and did warranty work (and NOT very often!). IF we saw a snapper come in for repair, it was usually the engine or normal wear parts (belts, springs, blades, etc...)

I tried to get my old system running, but, quickly realized that for some reason my dad threw my old IBM PC Jr. out with the trash a few years ago :*(

What do you have to hide?
