This thread reminded me of a great moment I had with my mom.
This was back when computers were new and we owned a 5K one. Because that's how much they cost. It was two years later and the thing was getting hopelessly obsolete. It desperately needed more RAM and after a lot of whining and whinging, I convinced my mother to let me take care of it. I'm not in any way computer apt, I just bought the part and carefully followed the instructions. Mom was living in primal dread that I would screw it up.
However, everything went swimmingly. I powered it back on, ran it, all good. So then I went to sleep. Sleep that was most rudely interrupted.
Mom: YOU RUINED MY PRINTER! IT'S NOT WORKING!
That woke me and I lay in a dark room for a moment. In my sleep deprived state, I couldn't understand how RAM could affect the printer. So I cogitated for a moment and had an ephiphany, a moment of clarity that has rarely come since.
Me: Did you turn it on?
Mom: ...No, I... I don't think so... Stop laughing at me!!!
And she left, I went back to sleep and order was restored to the universe.

Quoth wolfie View PostDid you have somebody go around waving their arms in order to keep the lights on, the way one Dilbert cartoon had the PHB deal with the automated (motion sensor) lights which went off when people were sitting at their desks?
