C'mon, wake up please, when you dig up old quotes of people on this forum and post them thats harsh, when you name call, thats harsh too.

Looking your post count you probably are better friends with Geoff then me so I guess you would take sides cos thats who you are. Dont address me with your childish posts, think about what this thread is about and the people it makes fun of.

One thing, who are u to say who i am??? You dont know me, let alone my first name. but no biggie, you probly just said it while rambling. And calling that harsh isnt "childish". Just when you "address" somoneone and belittling them, i think is harsh.

O well no big deal, just letting you know my thoughts, completly ignore this post.

Maybe what i am saying is "noobish"???:)

You really can't blame evryone for being such noobs when it comes to using a computer. A lot of pple dont know anything about computers, thats why Bestbuy has Geek Squad or tech support. We were all noobs at one point, thats why we ask questions on forums to learn, although they should really check out the 101 first. But yeah thats how I learned a lot from reading through a lot of posts in this forum and online.

Not to put you down, but don't take everything that Best Buy, and especially the Geek Squad says as gold. As I'm sure that they hire some quality people, most are just blowing smoke up your butt. P.S. I've seen the aftermath of what some of the Geek Squad people did to a laptop power supply. I'll explain more later... Oh, and as far as networking goes, the Best Buy people I've dealt with don't know as much as they think they do. I've also had to repair/set-up many home wireless networks that didn't work because of their advice.

There's an e-mail from that lists some of the more interesting conversations that the Dell tech support people have had. Don't know where I put it, but I remember one was where a lady thought that her CD drive was a cup holder and couldn't figure out why it kept closing when the computer would start up... Although I don't like demeaning the non-computer savvy, but there are some people who should just stay as far away from technology as possible, mostly for their own safety. ;)

it'd be funny if they put a cup holder instead of a cd rom in a computer and sell it to an absolute computer noob.

A Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of trouble-shooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.

Me- "What kind of clock speeds do you have??"
Friend- "I can't tell you that, my clock is digital"


"Oh man, I just got a PC from Bestbuy today and man does it play CS 1.6 at like 50 FPS!!"

If you guys think that's funny... I reformatted my dad's comp. with korean windows xp so he doesn't have to ask me about evrything. Now evrything on his comp is in korean even the start button. One day I was helping him out and I told him to click on "start" in korean but he still had a hard time looking for it even though it was in korean.. I was like, oOkay I'm going to js leave the room now.. -_-

Customer: I don't have a '7' key.
Support: Do you see the '1' key?

Support: What's to the right of that?
Customer: '2'
Support: And further right?
Customer: '3', '4', '5', '6'
Support: What's the next key?
Customer: '8'
Support: It should be to the left of the '8'
Customer: Oh, that '7' key?

GS: Oh, then you need this: (Hands me a $30 BFG ramsink)
Me: I've already got a sink. I just want a fan

Me: how much memory do you have?
Friend: 160gigs

That's a perfectly legitimate answer. You didn't specify what kind of memory, so the friend told you how much non-volatile memory was available.

I know I have asked my fair share of n00bish questions, and I feel that this kind of humor is insensitive at the very least. I'd much rather see a thread that rotates around "what was your most n00bish moment." That is humourous and entertaining, and not slamming poor people whose only problem is lack of knowledge.
