Never Again
I'll Tell You Where to Put That CD
Hint: It won't be in your floppy drive.
At my last job we had a marketing manager who I would like to nominate as the most illiterate computer user alive. What follows are her credentials for this award:
First call to IT: "I have a CD I need pictures from."
IT's response: "Push the button under the CD tray and place the disk printed-side up."
Second call to IT: "It doesn't fit."
IT's response: "Push the button and wait for the drawer to open."
Third call to IT: "It doesn't fit!!"
Having enough of this, one of our support crew walked over to her office just in time to observe her trying to ram a CD into a floppy drive. He gently took the disk from her, pushed the button, inserted it into the tray, clicked OK on the auto-launch popup and walked away without saying a word.
