So, I had to run across campus, in the rain, to deal with Miss "I know about technology, but I still killed my CD Rom by putting in two CDs at a time" with a fubar projector. Shortly after I got back, feeling icky and out of breath :: crosses fingers that the chest x-ray comes back clean ::, a student comes down with several DVDs. She wants to make a movie with Windows Movie maker, but can't get the computers to read the discs.
First off, she has NO idea what the heck she's doing or talking about. Nor does she care that we do not support anything like that. She wouldn't leave. So I HAD to look at the files on the DVDs. Of course, they were all in a format proprietary to the camera that made the files. It look me 15 minutes to convince her that she needed to talk to the film prof on campus, or find the camera that made the damn things and use the software that came with to convert it.
She was NOT a happy camper.
