Nelly Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 "A lady calls in very upset stating that we shipped her an incomplete system. She says that we only shipped her the monitor and the keyboard and that we still need to send her the "tower" and she wants to know when are we delivering the "tower". After a while struggling to get her account number and verifying her info, I realize she ordered a laptop. I tried to explain her that she ordered a laptop and that her order has been delivered completely according to the records. The lady starts to yell because she says her order is incomplete and yada yada yada. Then I convince her to look into her box for a smaller box called 'ac adapter' when she finally finds it I ask her to plug it in the back, the lady asks me where in the back, after telling her were to connect the adapter I ask her to take a look into her 'keyboard' for a button that says power and to press it. At this point I was really about to laugh but I contained. The lady pressed the button and guess what? It turned on. The lady was like, whoa! how did you do that?" Quote

pam Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Do you think my computer needs to be cleaned? Could that be the problem? Quote
Dravin Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 The joys of canned air, those messes are easy to clean. Imagine cleaning something like this: Quote
slamjet Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 This is the type of computer I started working on. The old DEC VAX Stations running the old VAX VMS operating system. The hard drive was a bit smaller than a washing machine:It was only a gigabyte at most. It held twelve platters that were about two feet in diameter. You twisted the plastic shroud over it and lifted the whole platter assembly out. Then you put another one in. It was great for classified work because you could keep the hard drives in a locked safe. But when the disk crashed, it crashed big time. The times we had to pull out gouged disks and clean up the mess. Happy days.I remember when the company got really excited when they bought their first microVAXIt was on these systems I programmed Fortran. Then I worked for a company that had this:The old IBM XT systems. 8088 processor (8-bit processing), 10MB hard drive, 5 1/4 floppy (360 KB) DOS operating system, and 640KB of on-board memory.And just for the fun of it, we had a 9600 Baud modem. When we upgraded to a 14,400 baud modem, we thought we hit the big times! We've come a long way in the couple plus decades years since. Quote
Nelly Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 That's what my computer use to look like from the last picture there Slamjet.. I finally upgraded to an IBM Thinkpad T42.. 2 years ago.. Lucky me.I was told my computer was ancient, but I had to work with that I had .Ohh & I heard Mahone ruined his laptop by getting it soaked in water...it reminds me of this commercial..
