you cannot change the order in which files appear inside a folder when you burn it to disc. that's up to the person viewing the folder. no, you cannot put that file first, unless you rename it. fuck you. fuck you!

you need to lay off the meth timb

no, eriously... this biatch comes into our studio to do her own work. fair enough. but just cus she's too gaddamned computer illiterate to do her stupid shit herself, i have to help her. and i keep telling her the same stuff over and over. she just can grasp the basic concepts of computing. aaaargh.

she wanted to make some text (in ms-word) non-bold... so i explain: highlight the text, hit the b button. and she's like, "that's silly".

:erm

im a webdesigner and people phone through to our internet department to ask me how they can "get an internet" in their house.

i nearly told her to email microsoft and ask them to hurry up with that mind-reading software ....

I couldn't be patient with someone like that, I'd be forced to let them on the pc and go for a wander and just tell them to play around, that they'll figure out how to use it.

pffft. she just clicked on the desktop, and all the toolbars vanished (as the do on a mac). she had a panic attack. i tried to explain that she's clicked outside the application... pulling teeth!

I hear if you give them electric shocks while you teach them they retain the facts quicker.

they should make a training mouse with a shock-thingy-majig in it... if you click in the wrong place... BbZZZZZzzzzzzzt. sort these fuckers out.

tell her that her mouse will work better if she waves it in front of the screen. that mouse pad is just too far away for it to be useful!
