This weekend I have helped more people who have NEVER touched a computer in their ENTIRE LIFE set up high-speed internet on brand-new Windows Vista computers, 90% of them being new HP systems. So what I really want to know is (a) who's having deals on HP systems so good that it makes complete technophobes want to buy a new computer, and (b) WHY ARE THEY ALL CALLING *MEEEEEEE*!?!?!?!?!
I have schooled 4 customers with the information "Turning off your monitor is not the same as turning off the computer", 6 "You have to connect the mouse to the computer in order to use it", and TWO "The Keyboard... it's the rectangular thingee hooked up to your computer with all the letters and numbers on it... yes, I *have* noticed that they are not in alphabetical order, no I don't know who's hair-brained idea that was".
